Col cuore diviso tra Fabriano, Reggio Emilia e Milano, il Late Sense nasce nel 2015. Vibrafono, contrabbasso e batteria: basterebbe questo per scoperchiare un mondo di suoni, ma è dal 2016 che si inizia a esagerare, accogliendo il sassofono di Gaetano Santoro. 
Una musica che diventa potente, a tratti spigolosa, ma sempre fedele a un’idea di melodia che nasce come risultante di più voci. Un intreccio costante fra mainstream e avanguardia, un equilibrio instabile, e proprio per questo affascinante da esplorare.

A heart divided between Fabriano, Reggio Emilia and Milano, the Late Sense was born in 2015. Vibraphone, double bass and drums: it could be enough to uncover a huge world of sounds, but things become insane in 2016 when Gaetano Santoro’s saxophone jumps in. 
Music becomes powerful, full of tense atmospheres, always faithful to an idea of melody resulting from a sum of voices. An intertwining of tradition and avant-garde, an unstable balance, fascinating to be explored.

Piero Bittolo Bon is an almost forty years old perennial new talent struggling in the italian and international jazz scene. He mainly plays alto saxophone but is also at ease on baritone, bass and alto clarinet and flute. Piero has also had a long-standing affair going on with the electric bass, which he played at the beginning of his musical journey in funk, reggae, and rock bands, before committing himself to wind intruments and improvised music. Passionate and vibrant, his music, densely composed or totally improvised, reverberates with echoes of the best of free jazz, fire music, torrid improvisations, sharp attacks and continuous inventions bar after bar.

Member of the fresh and much regarded italian collective/record label El Gallo Rojo Records, he's currently leading his own sextet "Jümp The Shark", an ironic blend of compositon, freeform and hard groove, with Gerhard Gschloessl on tuba and trombone, Domenico Caliri on guitars, Pasquale Mirra on vibes, Danilo Gallo on bass and Federico Scettri on drums, and co-leads "Rollerball", a rock-oriented jazz quintet with Beppe Scardino on bari sax, Enrico Terragnoli on guitar, Danilo Gallo on bass and Massimiliano Sorrentini on drums, not mentioning the many other bands he's involved in, mainly with his Gallo Rojo fellows and with other major italian musicians. Recently he was called to be part of a new Uri Caine project, "Pulse". His most recent  project, "Original Pigneto Stompers", features giant of electric bass Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Simone Massaron on guitars and Federico Scettri and Massimiliano Sorrentini on double drums. 

He performed an recorded with italian artists such as Danilo Gallo, Zeno de Rossi, Beppe Scardino, Enrico Terragnoli, Stefano Senni, Francesco Bigoni, Massimiliano Sorrentini, Achille Succi,Tiziana Ghiglioni, Tiziano Tononi, Daniele Cavallanti, Francesco Cusa,  Domenico Caliri,  Giovanni Maier, U.T.
