ABOUT / HITS ABROAD

Andrea Pozza has a strong national and international career that has seen him as a major player in the Far East, America and Europe. An eclectic musician able to deal with any repertoire with great ease, he is both a charismatic leader and an ideal partner for great artists who find empathy and innate interplay in him. Andrea Pozza debuted at the age of 13 and since then has performed alongside some of the biggest names in jazz history: Harry "Sweet" Edison, Bobby Durham, Chet Baker, Al Gray, George Coleman, Charlie Mariano, Lee Konitz , Sal Nistico, Massimo Urbani, Luciano Milanese and many more. Andrea Pozza was part of the Enrico Rava Quintet (together with Roberto Gatto, Rosario Bonaccorso and Gianluca Petrella, replacing Stefano Bollani) from 2004 to 2008 with whom he co-wrote for ECM "The Words And The Days" (released in 2007 ). He also collaborated with Sal Nistico and Gianni Basso, with whom he has worked steadily for more than 25 years and has recorded numerous records, including a particularly significant one entirely dedicated to Billy Strayhorn's music. His concert activity with his namesake band is intense and brings him on tour in Italy and Europe, from Great Britain to Switzerland, from Germany to Portugal. Pozza collaborates, among others, with Enrico Rava, Fabrizio Bosso, Scott Hamilton, Steve Grossman, Tullio DePiscopo, Dado Moroni, Ferenc Nemeth, Bob Sheppard, Antony Pinciotti, Furio Di Castri and many others.
