Born in Bologna, Italy, Marco Bittelli began studying jazz guitar under the tutelage of Jimmy Villotti, a noted Italian musician and later moved to Los Angeles to study under legendary jazz guitar great Joe Pass.
In the late 90s, he began composing and performing his own music in the Northwest with Horace Alexander Young, one of the America’s versatile flute and saxophone talents who has performed with leading artists, including BB King, Abdullah Ibrahim and McCoy Tyner.
Bittelli and Young, who had also recently moved to Washington State from New York City, performed extensively as a duo before recording the tunes they had perfected over the years.
The result of this international collaboration is Libera, a collection of nine original compositions inspired by Mediterranean rhythms, Latin roots and dynamic contemporary American jazz.
