notes
He was born in Brescia (Italy) on 5th February 1963.
At the age of 11 he discovers the passion for music and he begins to study privately the classical piano.
At the age of 20 his interest is for jazz and Blues with fusion between the classical method with Modern harmony. It’s exactly in these years when the organ comes completely forgotten (years 80") supplanted by the first digital electronic keyboards that explodes his interest for the Hammond organ, instrument from the warm, rich and unmistakable sound which will be able to give him artistic satisfactions bringing him to the most important national and international festivals.
Jack McDuff, Lonnie Smith, Brian Auger, Al Kooper, Keith Emerson, Jimmy MC Griff, Booker T. are the musicians who will inevitably influence his style of contemporary musician with an eye and a hand always turn toward the direction traced by the old lions of the Hammond.
Just for the rhythmic sense, the original accompaniment and an intense passionate feeling with the Hammond is select from musicians of the calibre of Rudy Rotta and Andy j. Forest to accompany them in their tour in Europe.
To the beginning of 1998 takes form the soloist project and founds the band "Roberto Bellan Organ Groove" that it crosses the indelible traces of the “Hammond sound” in the last 40 years giving life to a new conception of the organ within the contemporary music..
Its music sails in the universe of the "groove" in a personal mixture absolutely of Acid-jazz and Funk, of Lounge and Blues, of Rock and Progressive from the unmistakable sound Sixties and Seventies; it is an example the last CD from the title "Hammond Groove" that it melts the classical sonorities from "organ trio" to those harder and psychedelic than a formation with even two organs Hammond and a "brass-section" as in the best tradition of the bands of Jazz-funk. Its show picks up anywhere consents from spectators and criticism for “feeling” and originality.
The formation with which introduces him to the public is that classical from trio without bass player (substitute from the keyboard of the organ) as it was in use in the years 60": guitar, battery, and naturally his inseparable Hammond organ C3 dated 1958.
