Red Pellini....


Letter from Red Pellini to me

Hi Claudio!
Thank you very much!!!!
my career? mmm
my way is to forgrt the past,..
anyway i studied jazz with the famous clarinet player Tony Scott.
he gave me the imprinting.
i play baritone, but my favourite musicians are not bariton players.
my idea come from a fusion beetwin Bix Beiderbecke,Lester Young,Tony Scott and Pee Wee Russel.
for many years i played and arranged the music and the atmosphere of Bix Beiderbecke, i was crazy for Bix,also i played in the soundtrack of the "BIX" movie with Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern
then many jazz festivals, some cd's.
my dream is to keep alive the great swing of 1920-40.
i think and i'm sure this is the TRUE jazz.
if no swing....no jazz.
