Alberto Marsico, born in Turin in 1966, has been professionally active for approximately thirty years as an organist and keyboardist. His passion for the Hammond organ began in 1994 after attending seminars by Jack McDuff in Genoa. In 1995, McDuff recorded a composition dedicated to him, signed by Marsico and titled "Jack-pot," for his eponymous album released by Red Records. In the summer of 1996, he toured Spain and Portugal with Slovenian drummer Zlatko Kaucic, while continuing to collaborate with various American musicians in the soul-jazz sphere, such as Lannie McMillan, Ollie Nightingale, Linda Young, Beverly Watson, and Sharon Clark. In 1998, he recorded "Hiding in Plain Sight" in San Francisco and performed for a month throughout the Bay Area with guitarist and singer Anthony Paule. In June 2000, he realized an adolescent dream by sharing the stage in a duo with Ian Paice for a concert-workshop by the Deep Purple drummer held in Gubbio. In September 2001, he was called to Los Angeles by blues guitarist Alex Schultz to record two CDs, accompanied by musicians such as singer Lynwood Slim and bassist Larry Taylor (Canned Heat, Tom Waits). For Organic Music, he also recorded the album "Jazz The Beatles" (entirely dedicated to the music of the famous English quartet) with the group Scenario (Simone Santini on sopranino sax and Enzo Zirilli on drums). In September/October 2002, he performed in Singapore and Sydney (Australia). In the spring of 2003, he toured Europe with American soul-blues singers Finis Tasby and Tad Robinson, and in July, he returned to Singapore and Malaysia. In January 2004, he played in Finland at the Yllas Jazz Festival with German guitarist Christian Rover. In April, he recorded his second solo CD for Organic Music, titled "Organ Logistics." In 2005, he collaborated continuously with the great jazz drummer Alvin Queen within his project called "Organics," with which he performed in Spain, France, and Croatia alongside alto saxophonist Jesse Davis. Also in 2005, another dream—perhaps the most pursued one—was realized: called by the Beatles Fan Club Italia for the thirtieth anniversary of its foundation, he crossed the threshold of Abbey Road Studio 2 in London, sitting at the organ where Paul McCartney and Billy Preston once sat, and recorded two Beatles songs, including an "organ solo" now collected on a CD produced by the Club. Other recordings followed in the spring: a solo CD for the Italian label "Azzurra" titled "Rock Candy," part of a box set dedicated to the history of the Hammond organ, and another in a trio with Dresden guitarist Lars Kutschke titled "Soundsville": an explosive mixture of blues, jazz, and rock. In June 2006, he was invited to perform in Ryazan (Russia) at a festival dedicated to the Hammond organ, and he also performed in Moscow with American singer Brian Templeton. In July, he was invited to participate, with Soundsville, in the "North Sea Jazz Festival" in Den Haag. In September, another record was released for the German label Organic Music, with Organ Logistics, this time accompanied by the great American alto saxophonist Jesse Davis as a special guest. The record is titled "Take A Walk On The Moon" and was presented to the press in a concert also recorded and broadcast by German radio. In December, he was on stage at the Blue Note in Milan for four consecutive nights as a guest of the Joey DeFrancesco Trio. In 2007, he actively collaborated and recorded with the guru and great master of Italian jazz drummers, Gianni Cazzola, in a project called "MaMa Trio," accompanied by Ettore Martin on sax. He then recorded the second Soundsville album in Germany, and in December, he played in Parma in a duo with Enrico Rava. In January 2008, he participated in the NAMM in Los Angeles as a co-designer of electronic keyboards oriented specifically toward reproducing the sound of the Hammond organ (KeyB Organ). He was subsequently invited by RAI and journalist Piero Angela to participate in the program "Superquark" as an expert on the history and technique of the Hammond organ. In June, he organized and directed the *We Love Jazz* seminar, one of the most important European jazz seminars, inviting and coordinating instructors such as Benny Golson, Jimmy Cobb, Buster Williams, Joey DeFrancesco, and George Cables. The seminar saw the participation of 104 students from all over the world and a total of 3,000 spectators at the concerts parallel to the initiative. Since 2004, he has renewed his periodic didactic collaboration with the Conservatories of Leipzig, Dresden, and Enschede to deepen the technique connected to the instrument of which he can define himself a specialist. In 2009, he toured with trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso and recorded his first DVD with his band, Organ Logistics, achieving excellent public success.
