"Drummer Massimo de Majo would have little difficulty measuring up to New York's best." Scott Yanow
Massimo de Majo is a percussionist, an educator, and probably one of the most well kept secrets in European Jazz. Never indulging in self promotion, Massimo has often taken directions which have radically changed his career, so - while not widely known by the general public - he's highly regarded by his peers as "a musicians' musician".
A drummer with an intense energy flow, wide dynamics and an acute sense for interplay, de Majo is as comfortable playing free form music, as well as within more structured frameworks. He has now reached a very individual sound summoning inspiration from masters Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Pete La Roca, Eddie Blackwell and Billy Hart.
