BIOGRAPHY | DANILO REA www.daniloreamusic.it Danilo Rea was born in Vicenza, Italy, in August 1957. He discovered his passion for music at the very early age. Danilo took his first piano lesson before his sixth birthday, from where he started his extraordinary journey. “...la musica è la mia malattia e la mia medicina, il mio scopo e il mio compito, la mia ragione di essere al mondo, il mio modo di giocare con la vita...” “...music is my sickness and my medicine, my purpose and my commitment, the reason to be in this world, my way to play with my life...” Danilo took his classical studies at Santa Cecilia music conservatory in Rome, where he graduated in 1978. Despite this, he realised right away that jazz was his true nature. Danilo made his debut in the jazz scene with the "Trio di Roma", with Roberto Gatto (Drum) and Enzo Pietropaoli (DoubleBass) in 1975. Danilo has worked with on-stage and in the recording studios with great musician, such as Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Art Farmer, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Mimmo Cafiero, Phil Woods, Curtis Fuller and Kenny Wheeler. His eclecticism leads him to perform with some of the most important Italian pop music singers, such as Domenico Modugno, Mina, Pino Daniele, Riccardo Cocciante, Gianni Morandi, Claudio Baglioni, Fiorella Mannoia and many others, with each of whom he has produced long collaborations.
