The Profile

Italian singer-songwriter known for intimate, acoustic songs that blend folk and jazz influences. Before his music career he worked as a railway station master; he gained early recognition in France and kept a low-profile, essential approach on stage and on records.

Born 17 October 1958 in Cavallermaggiore (Province of Cuneo); died 30 March 2016. First widely noticed album: Montgolfieres (mid-1990s, released in France).

DeBaser's reviews celebrate Gianmaria Testa's intimate, jazz-tinged singer-songwriter work. Reviewers note his spare live performances, recurring themes of travel and the sea, and strong Franco-Italian reception. Albums recommended include Montgolfieres, Lampo and Da questa parte del mare.
