MP3 Simone Massaron - Breaking News
9 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Instrumental Rock, JAZZ: Free Jazz
Details:
Simone Massaron was born in Milano, Italy, in 1971.
During the first 15 years of his life, he alternated piano, guitar and drums playing in different local bands. Only when he was around 16, he started studying jazz guitar and having concerts around Europe.
Later on, focusing only on jazz, he deepened his studies with Roberto Cecchetto and took seminars with Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, Mick Goodrick, Marc Ducret and John Scofield.
He now follows many projects in which he expresses his eclecticism and his ability to move freely across many genres: radical improvisation, free avant-garde, looping, live electronics, visceral blues, live movie soundtracks,’60s lounge, sound painting, contemporary classic repertoire. His style is personal, ironical and unforeseeable and has an instrumental technique that allows him to venture into unexplored areas of guitar terrritory.
He is one of Italy fretless guitar main representative and will participate to the up coming New York “Fretless Guitar Festival”.
Moreover, he has played and worked together with Elliott Sharp, Nels Cline, Steve Piccolo, Gak Sato, Tiziano Tononi and Daniele Cavallanti.

ABOUT "BREAKING NEWS":
"… excellent debut album for a top level guitarist. (breaking news) is favoured by a grown up production and performers such as Steve Piccolo, Elliott Sharp, Tiziano Tononi and Daniele Cavallanti. Play it loud, and you will enjoy a passionate trip through rock, blues and jazz"
(PAOLO CARU'', https://www.tradebit.com, May ''06)
"….very bold indeed "Breaking News", the album by Simone Massaron, who plays any kind of electric guitar, variously modified, together with the Nexus duo, (Daniele Cavallanti and Tiziano Tononi) and two avant-gardist pillars, Steve Piccolo and Elliott Sharp. The result is a contagious free jazz, with an eye for no wave and alt rock. It makes one think of those enlightening experiences by certain NY schools of the past twenty years (the Knitting Factory, for example) all of which reaching courageous results, even if sometimes not very enjoyable by traditional taste. Moreover, we are carried to believe that thanks to albums such as this one, the "Made in Italy" has conquered a leading position in the international jazz scene"
(GUIDO MICHELONE, IL BUSCADERO, May ''06)
"….the music by the group led by Massaron is a tasteful interlacement of experimental sounds (whose game is often led by him and Sharp) and free, singable melodic associations from which the shadow of Albert Ayler emerges. Even more so, when the group plays "Run Through The Jungle", an old song by Creedence Clearwater Revival that has a completely different expression. Nevertheless, the originality of all the performers gives the group an undoubted style consistency"
