Bio

Gianni Gebbia, born in Palermo, Sicily, and a graduate of the University of Palermo's Faculty of Philosophy, is an internationally renowned Italian saxophonist, flutist, and composer, known for his experimental and avant-garde jazz style. Gebbia is considered one of the world's leading specialists in circular breathing technique, which allows him to create continuous, long tones, often leading to polyphonic illusions. In 1990, he participated as a soloist in the Total Music Meeting in Berlin organized by FMP alongside musicians such as Steve Lacy and Lindsay Cooper. A year later, he initiated a collaboration with German percussionist Gunther Sommer and double bassist Peter Kowald, reviving one of the historic duos of European free jazz. In 2000, The Wire magazine ranked him among the leading solo saxophone players.
