Massimo Imperatore Trio
The Massimo Imperatore Trio is a project led by Italian guitarist Massimo Imperatore, known for its heart-wrenching melodies, free improvisation, and narrative-driven compositions. Influenced by the abstract nature of expressionism, Massimo incorporates unconventional structures that challenge traditional forms, blurring the lines between jazz and avant-garde.
Elements such as open-string playing, guitar harmonies, touches of atonality, and distinctive grooves are uniquely woven into his music with a signature flair.
In January 2025, the Massimo Imperatore Trio was named one of the finalists in the Keep an Eye Records competition.
