Since the beginning of his musical career, Alessio Riccio has been considered one of the most talented Italian drummers of his generation.
Born in Florence, Riccio began to play music and the drums just before turning seventeen. Discovering a deep affinity with the instrument, he set out on a passionate trek of learning which has led him to studies in Florence, Bologna, Siena, Perugia, Ravenna, Milan and Rome, with, among others, Timothy Kotowich, Alessandro Fabbri, Piero Borri, Horacio Hernandez, Ettore Fioravanti, Attilio Zanchi, Alessandro Di Puccio, Paolo Fresu, Paolino Dalla Porta, Stefano Battaglia, Franco D’Andrea and Enrico Rava, also attending many workshops and master classes in Italy and abroad. For four years he attended the percussion class of the Luigi Cherubini Music Conservatory of Florence, under the guidance of Renzo Stefani, acquiring his specialization at the Corsi di Alta Qualificazione Professionale per Musicisti di Jazz of Siena, organized by the European Community, graduating with top grades for two consecutive years. As a passionate and meticulous student, also studying piano, harmony, arrangement and electronic music, he has received numerous awards (to mention just a few, two scholarships from Boston’s Berklee College of Music, two scholarships from Corsi Permanenti di Perfezionamento Musicale of the Fondazione Siena Jazz and a scholarship from the Drummers Collective of NYC).
As a project leader, Riccio has received numerous acknowledgements, including: first prize at the Eurojazz international contest, 1994; first prize at the Barga Jazz international contest, 1995; first prize at the Noe’/Ars Multimediale contest – jazz music section, 1996; first prize at D.O.C. Jazz international contest, 1997. Numerous are also the acknowledgments received as a soloist: the prestigious Outstanding Musicianship Award, which Boston’s Berklee College of Music reserves to young and promising musicians (July 1994); first prize in Bologna’s OFP Orchestra contest, earning the drummer’s seat (November 1994); Grand Prize at the Modern Drummer/Drummers Collective Contest, an international musical event organized by the world famous magazine to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the foundation of the New York music school (February 1997); first prize at the International Contest for Percussionists Percfest ’98/Memorial Naco (June 1998); first prize at the contest organized by New Talents/Fuori Tema Orchestra and presided over by Claude Barthélémy (former conductor of the Orchéstre Nationale de Jazz de France), earning the drummer's seat (July 1998); first prize at the contest organized by A.M.J's Grande Orchestra Nazionale, earning the drummer’s seat (August 1999). Both in 2001 and 2002 the Italian magazine Musica Jazz mentioned him as one of the best new Italian talents.
His sheer passion for the New Music of today pushes him to develop his own projects, involving musicians such as Ralph Alessi, Stefano Battaglia, Tim Berne, Monica Demuru, Ellery Eskelin, Michel Godard, Catherine Jauniaux, Steve Lacy, Gabriele Mirabassi, Gianluca Petrella, Dominique Pifarély, Hasse Poulsen, Ernst Reijseger, Elliott Sharp, David Shea, Chris Speed, Achille Succi and Diana Torto. Through the years he has been involved in steady ensemble work with creative bands and combos (Time Escape - with Giacomo Castellano and Guido Melis, Stefano Battaglia's Theatrum, Claude Barthélémy's Barthématiques, the French ensemble Ars Nova - conducted by Philippe Nahon, Homage To A Dream - with Achille Succi, Diana Torto and Gianluca Petrella, Percussioni Dadadang). He shared stages and recording sessions with, among others, Luis Agudo, Carla Bley, Steve Coleman, Eugenio Colombo, François Cornelup, Paolo Damiani, Franco D’Andrea, Laurent Déhors, Sophia Domanchic, Paolo Fresu, Helène Labarrière, Michel Massot, Pino Minafra, Evan Parker, Wolfgang Puschnig, Michael Riessler, Yves Robert, Steve Swallow, Marco Tamburini, Claude Tchamitchian, Gary Valente, Attilio Zanchi and numerous jazz orchestras, including Orchestra Giovanile Italiana di Jazz - conducted by Mario Raja and Bruno Tommaso, and with soloists such as Rudi Migliardi, Giancarlo Schiaffini and Gianluigi Trovesi, and has played in hundreds of creative performances all around Europe, participating in music and art festivals in Italy, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, England, Luxembourg, Holland, Russia, Scotland, Spain and Switzerland (including participation in Umbria Jazz, Premio Tenco, Barga Jazz, Philip Morris Jazz Festival, Berchidda’s Time in Jazz, Le Fabbriche della Musica, Salone della Musica Classica e del Jazz, London’s BBC Music Live and RhythmStick/Royal Festival Hall, Streets Ahead Festival, International I.A.S.J. Meeting, Harrogate International Festival, Stockton’s International Riverside Festival, Edimburgh’s Hogmanay, Roccella Ionica’s Rumori Mediterranei, Banlieues Bleues/Cité de la Musique in Paris, Perugia Classico, Sons d’Hiver, Moscow’s Theatre Olympics, Festival International des Musiques d’Aujourd’hui (2001), London’s Royal National Theater, Ufip Day and Rome’s Notte Bianca).
Riccio’s work as an electroacoustic composer brings him to collaborate with theatre companies, directors and videomakers: to be cited his work with Graziano Staino, Alessandro Riccio, Silvia Guidi and the “English-speaking” theatre company FESTA for which he put to music some of William Shakespeare’s works. Journals which have written about him are, among others, Modern Drummer, Drum!, Jazziz, Cadence and Downtown Music Gallery’s Newsletter (USA), Jazz Magazine and Le Journal de la Cité de la Musique (France), Jazz Special (Norway), Musica Jazz, Jazzit, Alias de Il Manifesto, Il Venerdi di Repubblica, Guitar Club, Il Giornale della Musica, Alta Fedeltà Digitale, Percussioni and Drum Club (Italy). He has also appeared on numerous specialized webzines like Percfest.it, JazzConvention.it, AllAboutJazz.com, ItalianJazzMusician.it and AnimaJazz.it (Italy), AllMusicGuide.com, JazzWordReviews, OneFinalNote and JazzWeekly.com (USA), Fred’sDrumCentral.com and JazzValley.com (France), among others.
Riccio holds seminars, stages, clinics, master classes and lectures all over Italy. Of note, his participation in Pesaro’s Fiera Interexpo Music (1995 and 1996), Rimini’s Disma Music Show (from 1997 to 2001) and the workshops organized by Florence’s Musicus Concentus (1995), events featuring the best Italian drummers. Since 1996 he has played The Metalanguage Unit, conceived and realized in collaboration with Ufip and Drum Sound: in its various stages of evolution it has been instrument, then sonorous sculpture, then living machine. TMU is both the result of lengthy research on timbre characteristics and ergonomics, and the outcome of a detailed study on material feasibility and music language. By virtue of these features, and thanks to the deep and personal spiritual growth which has accompanied the research process, TMU has become part of what has been defined as the Art of Gesture: a world where the acoustic merges with the electronic, sound with space, creativity with precision, interpretation with improvisation.
From 1991 to 2002 he collaborated periodically with Percussioni magazine, publishing transcriptions and stylistic analysis. Since October 2001 he has been part of the teaching staff of Fondazione Siena Jazz.
Between 1996 and 1998 he designed and founded his label Unorthodox Recordings, through which he develops his projects. In its May 2006 issue, the prestigious American magazine Modern Drummer reviewed his cd "Drawing/Opus 2: Paul Klee" as "Cd Of The Month". Riccio is the first Italian drummer - and one of the few Europeans - to receive such an acknowledgment.
His music has been the subject of two thesis dissertations: "Alessio Riccio: suonando Klee" (Gianluca Sassaroli - Rome, 2008) and "Alessio Riccio: suono e strumento tra spazio tecnico ed evoluzione meccanica" (Antonio Laudazi - Siena, 2009). Riccio has contributed to or championed the creation of more than thirty projects including cds, videos and cd-rom, twelve of which as a leader or co-leader. Read more on Last.fm.
