Roberto Negro

Roberto Negro is a prolific Italian-born, Paris-based pianist and composer known for his adventurous and eclectic approach to jazz and improvised music. He seamlessly blends influences from contemporary classical, free improvisation, and even hints of rock and electronic music, creating a unique sound that's both intellectually stimulating and deeply groovy. Negro leads and co-leads numerous projects, showcasing his versatility as both a soloist and collaborator. He's a regular presence on the European jazz scene, known for his energetic performances and willingness to push boundaries.

His recordings range from intimate solo piano explorations to sprawling ensemble pieces, reflecting his restless creativity and constant exploration of new musical territories. Whether he's deconstructing familiar melodies or building complex improvisations from scratch, Roberto Negro's music is always engaging and full of surprises.
