Italian trumpeter and flugelhornist from Benevento. Debuted with Sopra Le Nuvole (2006, EmArcy) and released Lunaria (2009), noted for blending jazz, electronics and diverse influences.

Plays trumpet and flugelhorn; debut album Sopra Le Nuvole released in 2006 on EmArcy (Universal). Lunaria (2009) features contributions from Maria Pia De Vito, Roy Hargrove and Carla Casarano. Paolo Fresu publicly praised his work. Reviews highlight electronic elements, melodic focus and influences ranging from Miles Davis to contemporary Scandinavian and experimental jazz artists.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Luca Aquino's lyrical trumpet and flugelhorn work, highlighting a blend of jazz, electronic contamination and melodic invention. Sopra Le Nuvole (2006) is noted as his debut on EmArcy; Lunaria (2009) expands with notable collaborations. Reviewers emphasize melodic strength, tasteful electronics and diverse influences.

For:Listeners of contemporary jazz, fans of trumpet/flugelhorn-led music, audiences who enjoy electronic-infused jazz and melodic experimentation.

 Often resorting to the deliberate use of electronics, oscillating between metropolitan, progressive, Scandinavian, jazz, rock sounds and delving into each of them without being imprisoned by them, these 67 minutes and 23 seconds fly by in a flash while undoubtedly leaving their mark.

 The album does not fear tradition but does not become its slave; it pays homage to the greats of jazz but often has a rock approach with even some brilliant pop insights.
