• Ferdinando Argenti (Piano and Band) •
Ferdinando's Style is Simply Exquisite!
FERDINANDO ARGENTI, Boston-based pianist/keyboardist/
vocalist/composer and arranger was
born in Pisa, Italy, in 1954. At age 7, this multi-faceted
artist began studying piano until he entered high
school, during which time he gained experience playing
with Italian rock bands (although in the meantime
listening to his father’s American swing records), and
even won a national musical contest and appeared on
Italian television.
Ferdinando Argenti’s brilliant jazz piano sound and
improvisational style are a composite of Charlie
Parker’s be-bop, Oscar Peterson’s blend of bop and
swing, the lyrical approach of Bill Evans and Chet
Baker, and some of the harmonic innovations and
rhythmic feel of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea .
Argenti’s sensitive vocal phrasing and delivery can be
largely attributed to his admiration for Frank Sinatra and
Chet Baker .
