GeGè Telesforo

Bio:

GeGè Telesforo Singer, instrumentalist, but also journalist, television and radio personality, GeGè Telesforo represents a professional figure of a thousand facets. The fundamental common denominator of his multiple activities is music, that is "Good Music", to which he devotes all his creative energy. GeGé's artistic endeavors started when his incredible vocal talent was discovered by Renzo Arbore. Over the years he has developed his own personal style of "scat", renewing a particular form of vocal improvisation, almost forgotten abroad and which never existed in Italy. GeGè put together the best musicians of the Italian jazz scene. His unforgettable concerts in the mid 80's presented a renewal of old jazz standards, using breathtaking arrangements and moving harmonies. Later, he began to establish himself abroad performing with such “Jazz Masters” as Jon Hendricks, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Sidran & Go Jazz All Stars , Clark Terry, DeeDee Bridgewater, Phil Woods, Phil Upchurch, Bob Malach, and many others. In the United States, thanks to his association with Ben Sidran, pianist, singer, writer and producer, Telesforo has found a second home, where he has recorded in important studios and has collaborated with the most recognized international musicians for GoJazz Records. His undisputed talent has been exported around the world, as far as Japan where he has had an incredible success playing his part with The Go Jazz All Stars. For sometime Telesforo has focused his musical evolution on aggressive funk style, in which jazz elements and improvisations come together to form a rigorous and unmistakable rhythm dominated by groove. Now, accompanying Telesforo is a band of extraordinary musicians, ”Groovinators”. The various elements of this energetic band assure a dynamatic sound impact tru1y impressionable in which he is able to free his creative singing.
