Pietro Lusvardi
Location
The Jazz House is located at 3192 Adeline Street in Berkeley, a half
block southwest of the Ashby BART. (Please note there is an incorrect
Adeline Street in Oakland.)
The Jazz House is a small, non-descript warehouse
located next to the police station where Martin Luther King and Adeline Street meet.
A blue light and a peculiar "Ant" sign reside above the entrance.
An Alumni of the Conservatorio di Milano in Como, Italy,
Pietro Lusvardi brings his signature contrabbasso (double-bass) to Jazz House for a very
special engagement on Saturday, September 20, 2003.
An accomplished soloist and composer, Lusvardi offers a wide variety of original music and time-tested classics, with pieces ranging from the famed Come Sunday of Duke Ellington to an improvised Malaguena. Lusvardi's music ranges from serenely beautiful concertos to rhythmic jazz improvisations, and is always an interesting treat for the ears.
His world renowned ensemble, Gatto Marte, has produced four CDs, and won the national competition at the European Love Festival Arezzo Wave in July 2000. Lusvardi has played with several orchestras in Italy, Romania, England and the USA. September 20th will be an excellent opportunity to become better acquainted with a bassist who is a welcomed performer throughout the Bay Area.
