The peak of Izio Gross'' recordings, remastered and impressive.
Izio Gross, pianist, organist and composer: when he was 7, he started having piano and harmony classes, since he was eager to learn how to play the piano. He received great encouragement from his mother, Olga Gross and his father, Bruno Gross, who has been spalla-concerto violinist of the Rio de Janeiro Symphonic Orchestra, played tenor sax at the Copacabana Palace, and for 29 years at the company of casinos Urca, and also from his mother who was an excellent pianist.
At 1, he played with the Juvenile Symphonic Orchestra from Rio de Janeiro a simplified version of "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin. After classical studies of piano and harmony at the National Conservatory of Music, he had advanced piano classes with Laerte Vaz de Mello and Edmundo Kliass. Wishing to know more about techniques, he studied harmony and counterpoint based on the principes of Paul Hindemith''s method. At 19, he wrote his first arrangements for groups in Rio and for Big Bands of 18 musicians. Later on, he became director of the Valter Pinto company, the biggest Brazilian company of revues, and wrote many shows for the Brazilian folies comedia José Vasconcelos. He signed a contract with Radio LRI-3 from Buenos Aires, where he worked for three years, organizing a Big Band, and inviting the famous tenorman Gato Barbieri to play with it.
