What do you suggest to the new generation of jazz artists that are yet to come?

I don’t have suggestions for other artists, only to be constant with their passion and follow their dreams with real actions Being always humble and generous and grateful to all and have time to take their attention.

Tell me about your life moto?

My motto is “live your life moment by moment as this day should be the last one”

If you like to hear a great toon don’t miss the original Michel Zanoboli “Mick’s Tune“. This is a great contemporary jazz song from the beginning to the end, that you can listen in one breath. In some parts there are etno elements that make this track even better. With one word this track is AMAZING.
