Italian-born-and-raised NYC-based upright bassist and composer Giuseppe Cucchiara grew up on countless jazz vinyls and varied musical influences from an early age. His father, a classical upright bass player, laid the path for Giuseppe to explore playing several instruments throughout his childhood. At 16 Giuseppe picked up the bass and the rest is history. During his teenage years, he crossed paths with highly praised Italian jazz drummer Stefano Bagnoli, with whom he toured around as a sideman for “We Kids” Trio and recorded four albums for some major Italian jazz record companies – Ultrasound Records, Abeat Records, and Jazzit Records.
Over the years, the artist has performed at New York’s Dizzy’s Club, Smalls Jazz Club, Mezzrow Jazz Club, Fat Cat, Jazz Gallery, and Django, sharing the stage with many recognized names such as Rodney Green, Johnny O’Neal, Luis Perdomo, Harry Allen, Erena Terakubo, Bill Pierce, Daniele Germani, Davis Whitfield, and Michael Wang, to name a few. This March 29th, The Giuseppe Cucchiara Quartet releases Music for Your Soul. For more information on the artist and forthcoming album, please visit:
