Andrea Rinciari - Mark Taylor Quartet

Andrea Rinciari is a jazz guitarist whose tireless dedication to the traditions of bebop and straight-ahead has led him to specialise in mid-20th century jazz.

Originally from a small town just outside Milan, Italy, and honing his craft in London under the mentorship of the legendary Barry Harris, Andrea is deeply committed to jazz tradition.

Andrea has crafted his sound by pushing boundaries of the guitar resulting in a unique blend of innovation and tradition. With a career marked by virtuosity and a deep understanding of the jazz idiom, Andrea Rinciari has consistently delivered performances that resonate with audiences on a profound level.

His music is heavily influenced by jazz greats like Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron, Elmo Hope, Freddie Redd, Charlie Parker, Fats Navarro, and Clifford Brown.

“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”
