Dopo un’imprevista interruzione causata dallo spirito del tempo, siamo tornati nel nostro amato studio. In linea con la narrazione attuale si potrebbe parlare dell’episodio trentaquattro di Spinnit come l’episodio della ripartenza: si torna in studio e torniamo ad ospitare musicisti in presenza.
L’ospite del trentaquattresimo episodio è Michele Tino, sassofonista e compositore jazz, che è passato da Spinnit a presentare il suo disco d’esordio, Belle Epoque, uscito per l’italiana Auand Records lo scorso 4 giugno.
Con Michele abbiamo approfondito il percorso musicale che lo ha portato a comporre e pubblicare il suo disco d’esordio: dalla sua formazione, ai dischi fondamentali che più lo hanno influenzato; dalle esperienze all’estero, alla sinergia che nasce dal suonare con gli amici di sempre.
Con Belle Epoque, Michele Tino ha cercato di impressionare – nella concezione fotografica del termine – vari momenti e varie immagini che hanno segnato la sua vita e lo hanno formato, sia dal punto di vista artistico, che umano. Questo disco, infatti, rappresenta più un punto di partenza che un punto di arrivo.
Abbiamo parlato poi dei suoi attuali ascolti, di David Binney, della scena jazz di Los Angeles e delle contaminazione tra elettronica e jazz tradizionale.
Ringraziamo di cuore Michele per essere passato in studio a fare due chiacchiere con noi. Belle Epoque ci è piaciuto un sacco e con questa progressiva ripartenza speriamo di poterlo sentire suonato live al più presto.

L'IDIOTA

"This composition was inspired by the homonymous novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
I deeply love Dostoevsky’s works, each of them guided me through a specific and pivotal period of my life, influencing my ethics and my world vision. Specifically, “The Idiot” is the one that affected me the most by making me reflect, through the complex and beautiful figure of Prince Myshkin, on the values of innocence, goodness and purity and on their relation with human’s imperfection and self destroying tendencies."

BIO:

MICHELE TINO is an Italian saxophone player, composer and educator, mainly working in the Jazz music environment.
In the last few years he’s getting more and more attention as one of the most significant artists in the Italian new musical scene and as one of the most personal and in demand alto and tenor saxophone voices.

Born in Naples in 1991 he began his musical studies as a child, on piano.
At the age of 11 he moved to Florence and discovered a deep passion for Jazz music, leading him to approach the study of alto saxophone.
While attending the high school he entered the classical saxophone course at the Ferrara conservatory, studying with Italian well known saxophone player Marco Gerboni.
He got his bachelor and master’s degrees, both with the highest grade “Cum Laude”, under the guidance of Marco Tamburini in Rovigo's Conservatory.
In 2013 he moved to Amsterdam, first as an exchange student and then entering the master in Jazz Studies at the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam.
In his Dutch years he got the chance of studying with great musicians such as Lee Konitz, Mark Turner, Miguel Zenon, Steve Lehman, John Clayton, Ferdinand Povel, Jasper Blom, Simon Rigter, Joris Roelofs and many more.
In 2015 he was awarded with two scholarships from the Dutch government that allowed him to take part to an exchange program between CvA and Temple University in Philadelphia.
This gave him the opportunity to attend one semester at Temple University, studying with Dick Oatts and Terell Stafford. During this time he also got chosen by Oatts and Stafford as a member of the TU Jazz Band, which allowed him to perform in some important festivals and venues in the United States.
This period turned out to be a pivotal part of his musical education.
After he graduated at CvA in 2016 he moved back to Florence, where he is currently based.

By the time Michele Tino moved back to Italy his professional career developed very quickly, soon becoming a stable member of many relevant musical projects. This made him more and more well known as a soloist, mainly on alto saxophone, but also on tenor saxophone and flute.

Michele Tino is also leading his own quartet since 2018, featuring Simone Graziano on piano, Gabriele Evangelista on bass and Bernardo Guerra on drums.
In 2019 his band got chosen by Italian Jazz Festivals Association (I-Jazz) as one of the most interesting and representative Italian Jazz projects: this allowed Michele Tino Quartet to perform in many festivals in Italy and abroad, such as Toronto Jazz Festival.
In June 2021 Michele Tino is releasing his first record as a leader, “Belle Époque”, for the Italian label Auand Records.

In the last few years Michele Tino has performed in many well known festivals and venues, such as: Toronto Jazz Festival (Canada); Jerusalem Jazz Festival (Israel); North Sea Jazz Festival (Rotterdam, NL); Jazzhus Montmartre (Copenhagen, DK); Bimhuis (Amsterdam, NL); Chris Jazz Cafè (Philadelphia, US).

He also got the chance of playing and recording alongside many well known musicians, such as: Ambrose Akinmusire, Benny Golson, Jesse Davis, Terell Stafford, Dick Oatts, Justin Di Cioccio, Ben Van Gelder, Maurizio Giammarco, Hermon Mehari, Akua Naru, Marco Tamburini, Nico Gori, Massimo Nunzi.
