The Jazz Gallery Presents: Massimo Biolcati

In contexts both on and off the bandstand, Massimo Biolcati epitomizes the role of a supportive rhythm section player. As a bassist, Biolcati is known for holding down the shapeshifting grooves in guitarist Lionel Loueke's music. As a programmer, Bolcati designed the iReal Pro mobile app, supporting musicians in their quests to learn the jazz songbook.This Wednesday, August 7, Biolcati steps out as a leader at The Jazz Gallery, bringing together a new quartet. With pianist Jon Cowherd, guitarist Gilad Hekselman, and drummer Jimmy Macbride, the band will present Biolcati's original compositions, as well as some choice reinterpretations of contemporary pop tunes. Before checking out the band on Wednesday at the Gallery, watch Biolcati perform his composition "Birthday Song, Almost" alongside pianist Yago Vazquez and drummer Jochen Rueckert, below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ERUnUn88c&feature=youtu.beThe Massimo Biolcati Quartet plays The Jazz Gallery on Wednesday, August 7, 2019.
