The 68th Annual Monterey Jazz Festival will take place at the Monterey County Fairgrounds September 26-28, 2025.

My name is Giuseppe Campisi and I am an acoustic and electric bass player, composer and arranger. I grew up in the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily, where I developed my passion for music from a young age, and I currently live in Barcelona.

During the course of the years I have earned a degree Magna Cum Laude in Jazz Composition at Berklee College of Music as well as a master in Jazz Performance at the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam; I have written for and performed with a wide variety of groups, ranging from small to large ensembles, and I’ve been working actively both as a sideman and as a leader of my own projects.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”

Jazz Commons è un nuovo progetto musicale che ha preso forma nel 2017, ispirato ai principi del “Creative Commons “ in nome della “creatività condivisa”.

Il gruppo si presenta attualmente in trio (Angelo Giannelli al basso; Gian Nicola Belcastro alla chitarra e Gabriele Cipriani al sax alto) con l’amichevole partecipazione come special guests di Tizian Virzì e Alessia Falvo al canto e di Cinzia Antonetti voce narrante.

Nel repertorio composizioni originali nel solco della tradizione jazz dei Contrafact (melodie originali su progressioni armoniche già note) e brani della tradizione blues, folk e spiritual rielaborati e con arrangiamenti inediti. 
(Potete trovare gli spartiti dei nostri brani sulla piattaforma Musescore.org)

Il nostro vuole essere un sound all’insegna di atmosfere “cool” condite con influenze coltraniane…qualsiasi cosa voglia dire…Buon ascolto!
