**Micaela Martini, guitarist, vocalist and band leader, appears on the contemporary
Italian jazz scene as an instrumentalist and interpreter to arrive at the composition
and arrangement.**

She has always been interested in the spiritual approach in music, she approaches
the musical conception of John Coltrane, which inspires her in her path of poetic
and human research.

She completes her first studies with Maria Letizia Tedeschi at the Civic School 
of Cassano D’Adda and she is passionate about classical guitar with forays into 
contemporary flamenco, which she learns thanks to Livio Gianola.

You come to jazz guitar with Bebo Ferra and Dario Faiella.

She graduated in jazz guitar at the Lucio Campiani Conservatory of Music in Mantua,
under the guidance of Simone Guiducci, and she completed her jazz guitar and singing
studies with Silvia Infascelli and Eleonora D ’Ettole, as well as piano and drums.

She attends courses and internships with Peter Bernstein, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Fabio
Zeppetella, Scott Henderson and at the Umbria Jazz festival, while with Luca Pasqua
she approaches the expressions of the funky blues.

You take part in the ensemble music ensemble of the CDpM of Bergamo, coordinated
by Claudio Angeleri, Dario Faiella, Max Furian and Marco Esposito.

She in turn takes care of music teaching, she conceives and organizes workshops 
for children with preparatory games and exercises.

In the first years of activity she plays with Piero Pasini, Stefano Capomagi and
Max Caronia, currently engaged with Maisie, a nationally renowned art rock group;
she is among the protagonists of the musical review Mocambo in Jazz together with
established artists such as Guido Bombardieri, Eleonora D ’Ettole and Dario Faiella
Trio.

You collaborate in poetic readings with the well-known actor Diego Baldoin and the
writer Stefano K Di Modugno.

You participate in various formations and collaborations: with Luca Pasqua in a 
jazz guitar duo, with Bruno Gussoni (flute) and Maria Torelli (bass) in the GMT 
Trio total improvisation project.

Alongside Bruno Marini, (baritone sax, alto sax, flute and Hammond organ) internationally
renowned musician, with over 60 jazz and blues LPs and CDs, in addition to live 
shows, in 2021 she participates in the Juiced Intruders album . Her latest work 
is the single Take a Beat, which features Marini as a guest.

I love the interplay between me and Luca: it’s easy and relax to play with him. 
Ask the Dust was born with the intention of expressing our vision of jazz standards,
revisiting and interpreting it, adding two of our original pieces developed precisely
on this mood. It just realized another album called “Electric Trane” with Bruno 
Marini and Cristina Mazza like guests, an album dedicated to John Coltrane, an electric
reinterpretation of his music … it’s cool! I have known Luca since 2012 and I always
love his musicality and his approach to improvisation,- an interview with me said
Micaela Martini – I am really happy – says Micaela Martini – to be able to share
the bill with artists of this caliber, some of them have been great masters for 
me. Furthermore, she makes me proud to participate in an exhibition that brings 
jazz music to the places where I was born and raised.

“Inspired by the great John Coltrane … boasts a very respectable curriculum, and
is constantly growing” – La Gazzetta dell’Adda. “Micaela Martini at Mocambo in Jazz,
on the bill with some of the greatest Italian jazz players” – Online-jazz.net
