home / jazz / Ferdinando Argenti - Jazz Piano Ferdinando Argenti - Jazz Piano  FERDINANDO ARGENTI, born in Pisa Italy, moved to Boston in 1984 to develop a more comprehensive understanding of jazz and fusion music. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music, Argenti returned to his native Italy to perform concerts with both Italian and American jazz musicians, most notably Chet Baker, Lee Konitz and Kenny Wheeler, among others. After a period of musical engagements that included stints in Japan, Scandinavia, the Caribbean, and Russia, Ferdinando established himself in New England. He began to run the a gamut of gigs, performing as a solo artist, tasteful accompanist, and active member of many small groups and big bands, most notably the Artie Shaw Big Band directed by Dick Johnson. Ferdinando Argenti's brilliant jazz piano sound and improvisational style are a composite of Charlie Parker's be-bop, Oscar Peterson's blend of bop and swing, the lyrical approach of Bill Evans and Chet Baker, and some of the harmonic innovations and rhythmic feel of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Argenti's sensitive vocal phrasing and delivery can be largely attributed to his admiration for Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker.
