Profile


Personality: Diplomatic, romantic, charming, easy-going, sociable, idealistic, peaceable, indecisive, gullible, flirtatious, self-indulgent

Classically trained in music in Florence for several years by Cesare Abbiati, an elderly man who took him in. Grew tired of the limitations of classical music, fell in love with the improvisation and freedom of jazz and swing. Left Italy for the United States after his benefactor passed away. Spent some time in New York, then traveled south before settling in with the Plug and Play Band in New Orleans.

Notes: 

  • Likes to do little mini performances for small groups between shows. Teaches children simple melodies on piano, or how to read sheet music. Thinks that music should not be held behind a paywall, and that people should only pay for it if they genuinely enjoy/want to support the artist
  • Known to pass the piano off to another member of the band and jump off stage to dance with cute people in the crowd
  • Was wandering through town, stopped for a drink, opened his violin and joined the band on stage out of nowhere; they offered him a job immediately
  • Last two digits of fingers are coated in silicone to prevent the strings from rattling against metal
