Silvia Bolognesi (double bass)
Silvia Bolognesi's deep doublebass sound is as contagious as her smile. Her projects naturally connect
roots and avant-garde, a Mingus-like approach that allows her to collaborate with many inspiring
partners in Italy as well as in Chicago. The trio Hear In Now sees Silvia's bass triangulate with "string
sisters" cellist Tomeka Reid and violinist Mazz Swift, while the Almond Tree quartet triggers original
interactions with trombone (the talented Tony Cattano) and vibes (Pasquale Mirra—for more on him,
see below).
Suggested listening:
Silvia Bolognesi: Chicago Sessions (Fonterossa Records, 2017)
Silvia Bolognesi: Almond Tree (Fonterossa Records, 2017)
