Andrea Rinciari
Jazz guitarist in London
His latest album is available now
Andrea has crafted his sound by pushing boundaries of the guitar resulting in a unique blend of innovation and tradition.
Inspired by legends such as Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron, Elmo Hope, Freddie Redd, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Fats Navarro, and Clifford Brown, Andrea’s devotion to their legacy permeates through every performance.
Beyond being a virtuoso bandleader, Andrea is an engaging host, consistently gracing prestigious jazz venues on both sides of the channel. From the legendary Ronnie Scott’s, Vortex, Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club, Piano Bar Soho in London, to Parisian gems like Le Duc des Lombards, 38Riv, and Le Barbizon.
“Rinciari is able to reflect the gentleness and beloved bounce of Bud Powell’s piano playing beautifully in each of these standards. His solos are thoughtful and creative and capture elements of Powell’s genius.”
