Giancarlo Nino Locatelli

Country: Italy

Giancarlo Nino Locatelli (born 1961) is an Italian clarinettist and bass clarinettist who works in jazz and free improvisation. He had his first lessons from his father, an accordionist, studied piano and took his clarinet diploma in 1985. His music draws on Steve Lacy, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Anton Webern, and he has returned again and again to Lacy's compositions, also through the Pipeline project he leads. Locatelli's quintet recorded Trochus in 1991 with Steve Lacy as guest.
