Gege Telesforo
GeGé Telesforo'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 globally and nonexistant in Italy.
GeGé 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, Clark Terry, DeeDee Bridgewater 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 and China where he has had an incredible success playing his part with The Go Jazz All Stars.
Now, accompanying Telesforo is a band of extraordinary musicians, "PureFunkLive". The various elements of this energetic band assure a dynamatic sound impact truly impressionable in which he is able to free his creative singing.
