Bruno Tommaso, double bass player, composer, conductor, following his studies at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, he dedicated himself to medieval and Renaissance music with the "Gruppo Musica Insieme" and then approached jazz and avant-garde music. Between the end of the Sixties and the entire decade of the Seventies, he joined various groups, quickly becoming one of the reference figures of the new European jazz scene: Modern Art Trio, with the pianist Franco D'Andrea and the multi-instrumentalist Franco Tonani with which he made the first and only homonymous album of the formation, the "Roman Free Jazz Group" led by Mario Schiano, with Marcello Melis and Franco Pecori, the Santucci / Scoppa Quintet with which he recorded the albums "Looking Around" and "Mirage", the trio and quartet of Enrico Pieranunzi with whom he participates in the recording of the album "From always To Now“, the trio with Andrea Centazzo and Maurizio Giammarco and in the various formations of the pianist and composer Giorgio Gaslini, with whom, together with other young musicians of the new Roman jazz scene, he has the opportunity to participate in fundamental recordings of avant-garde and free jazz, imbued with strong political and social commitment. He collaborates with prestigious Italian jazz musicians: Giancarlo Schiaffini, Martyn Joseph, Claudio Fasoli, Gianni Basso, Renato Sellani, Giancarlo Barigozzi. In addition he gives concerts and plays the role of side man for internationally renowned jazz musicians, including: Bill Smith, Frank Rosolino, Art Farmer, Peter Erskine, John Taylor, Lee Konitz, Daniel Humair, Richard Galliano. In 1975 he was among the founders of the Popular School of Music of Testaccio. In 1985 he participates, as composer and director of the Rai Big Band (with Enrico Pieranunzi as guest soloist) at the Radenci Festival in the former Yugoslavia and the following year with the album "The Unrepetant One" with Renato Geremia, Mario Schiano, Guido Mazzon, Giancarlo Schiaffini and Toni Rusconi. In 1990, together with Giancarlo Schiaffini and the composer and clarinetist Jesus Villa-Rojo, the singer Michiko Hirayama, Michele Iannaccone, Roberto Laneri and the composer Edgar Alandia, he formed the group "Nuove Forme Sonore", with which he tackled the repertoire of contemporary music and original compositions. He was among the members of the Italian Instabile Orchestra, director of the Marche Jazz Orchestra and of the international Barga Jazz Orchestra. As director and arranger he works on numerous projects: “Sacred Concert” symphonic suite by Duke Ellington,"Rava, the opera goes" and "Rava Carmen” with Enrico Rava, “6 x 30 Even Numbers Give Poetry” with the group of Paolo Fresu and Orchestra Utopia, “Seven Songs” by Ettore Fioravanti, “Around Small Fairy Tales” by Gianluca Trovesi, “Beyond Naples at Night” with Maria Pio De Vito and Pino Minafra. Not only a musician with acute intelligence and technical-compositional sensitivity, since the seventies Bruno Tommaso has been carrying on, with passion, tenacity and attention to the modernization of applied methodologies, the role of teacher: in September 1977 he was a lecturer at the seminars of Montecatini together with Enrico Pieranunzi, Andrea Centazzo and Giancarlo Schiaffini (among the students were the pianist Luca Flores and Francesco Maccianti), holds courses and seminars at the Siena Jazz Foundation, at the Conservatories of Sassari, Parma, Pesaro, at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in Naples.
