Andrea Rinciari is an Italian jazz musician based in London, his style is rooted in the bebop and straight-ahead lineage. Inspired by the phrasing of saxophonists and pianists, he has developed an improvisational voice that is both melodic and deeply rhythmic — translating those influences naturally on the guitar.
“A boppish joy… Rinciari’s bubbling fluency immediately impressive.”
— Jazzwise Magazine
A scholarship graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire, Andrea’s playing was also shaped by in-person study with the legendary Barry Harris, whose teachings left a lasting mark on his musical identity.
“Rinciari's beautifully harmonised take [on Tea for Two] is as good as any instrumental version I've heard.”
— Bebop Spoken Here
Praised for his “fluid, precise and swinging work,” Andrea continues to develop his style while crafting a unique and personal voice.
