PAOLO RUSTICHELLI - MED GROOVE

Paolo Rustichelli's “Med Groove” has been #1 on the SmoothJazz.com indie chart for two weeks and is currently at #9 on the Mediabase smooth jazz chart. A seducing musical treat, Paolo uses edgy techniques, state of the art synthesizers, plug-ins and other magical effects to create his full band sound for “Med Groove.” A very open-minded and eclectic composer with a history rich in classical, jazz, smooth jazz, rock and movie music for songs and soundtracks, this one man band plays all the instruments on the songs by himself. Proudly embracing the role of a renegade, Paolo believes firmly believes that a lot of the music today is watered down by corporate think. Because so many people are now involved in the process of making records, it is his belief that the artist loses ownership of the actual art. “This is not a real honest picture of the artist,” said Paolo. When you compose and perform all of the music as he does, fans are given the opportunity to understand and interpret the art in its truest form. Among his album projects, Paolo recorded, performed and produced for rock-jazz superstars like Carlos Santana and Miles Davis. In 1997, he released the album "Mystic Man" in the United States through Island Records, which featured the legendary Miles Davis, Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Andy Summers and the disco diva Jill Jones.
