As soon as the news did arrive;
He said there was no man with the law in his hand
Who could take Jesse James when alive
                        -The Ballad of Jesse James, (Traditional)

lofi, fast-and-dirty, mistake riddled home demos

Three in music has been always a magic number. Every now and then a new trio comes out which renews the realization of how richly creative music can be.

Trios in jazz aren't uncommon, but different could be the approach to the composed material and improvisation: this is the case of the new exciting project, the WEST COAST CHAMBER JAZZ TRIO.

All materials they perform are original compositions from the vast repertoire of Andrea Centazzo.

Being all three masters of free improvisation, they add a new perspective to the classic jazz trio formula.


Welcome! I create fusions of sound and song. No limits really. An interchange of old and new. Multi-genre production music, concept releases, musical storytelling... Have a go! If you like it - share it, follow it, retweet it. I'll do the same.

I am a classically trained composer with broad interest and experience in world musics. MM New England Conservatory '86, BM University of Massachusetts at Amherst '76.

My compositions have won awards from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, New England Reed Trio International Chamber Music Composition Competition, a Bryant Fellowship from Harvard University, and a certificate from the 21st Century Music Project Competition of the the International Center for Japanese Culture in Yokohama, Japan. My works have been performed across the United States, Europe and Japan.

As a composer, I am interested in considering commissions and collaborations. Performing scores and parts are available to all my works here on SoundCloud through Universal Edition, J. W. Pepper Music, Frank Warren Music Service, or by contacting me.

I hope you enjoy listening here.
