Massimo Moriconi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Massimo Moriconi, born in Rome, 1955, was one of the bassists that wrote Italy’s pop music history, from his jazz beginnings with Romano Mussolini, Armando Trovajoli, Nicola Arigliano, until his work as a sideman with artists such as Mina, Fabio Concato, Fiorella Mannoia and international stars like Lee Konitz, Tal Farlow and many others, and even the likes of Jerry Lewis and Liza Minnelli, could not avoid passing on his musical gifts with also an intense teaching activity. Massimo is, in fact, one of the most active teaching musicians, both with his instructional methods and with a good number of students, at the Music University in Rome, and the “%musica” school, also in Rome. As this was still not enough, the prizes he won as best double bassist and best studio bassist (“Guitar Club” magazine – 1995) and best Jazz/Fusion bassist (“Chitarre” magazine) make him a presence, in Italian’s musical panorama, as solid as his own bass lines.
