His fresh and modern sound, together with his lyrical and original phrasing, make him one of the most interesting “voices” today, appreciated by both the public and critics alike. His music combines the elegant Italian taste for melody with deeply grounded elements of contemporary jazz. Lorenzo has performed in numerous clubs and festivals in Europe, Asia and America, including appearance with Steve Cardenas, Klaus Gesing, Mikael Godée, John Stowell, and many others. He has participated in 11 recordings, both as leader and sideman, for some of the most prestigious Italian record labels as well as two recordings and publications entirely made in Finland and Spain.
