Virginia Genta

Virginia Genta is a self-taught musician who plays all saxophones (tenor, soprano, baritone, alto) mainly known for being part of the astonishing Jooklo Duo, the project she shares with drummer David Vanzan since 2003, often playing as a drums and tenor duo, but regularly including other guests evolving into new forms as Neokarma Jooklo Trio (or Sextet, Octet, Experience), Golden Jooklo Age, Jooklo Finnish Quartet, New Jooklo Age, and so on. But - no matter how many musicians she's sharing the bill with - the sound of her saxophone is always standing out, clearly discerbible, like an ear-massage introducing parts of your own auricle you didn't even know were there. And finally, for all those who always wanted to hear a solo recording of her, two short improvisations skillfully recorded by Riccardo Sinigaglia of Futuro Antico.
