SANDRO DOMINELLI
www.sandrodominelli.com
It's been said that Sandro Dominelli is one of Canada's most creative, talented and tasteful drummers. Sandro's toured, performed, and recorded with a veritable who's who of the Canadian jazz scene, including Mike Murley, Rob McConnell, Guido Basso, Dave Restivo, Kirk MacDonald, Mike Rudd, Phil Dwyer, Hugh Fraser, Ian McDougall, Cambell Ryga, Doug Riley, Don Thompson, Ranee Lee, D. D. Jackson, Chris Tarry, Jack de Keyzer, Brad Turner, and Jake Langley. Additionally, he's performed and recorded with such local luminaries as Tommy Banks, PJ Perry and Kent Sangster.
As well, Sandro's performed with the Edmonton, Winnipeg, Red Deer and Concordia College Symphonies. He's also made his presence known south of the border sharing the stage with New Yorkers Mose Allison, Joe Lovano, Ben Monder, Ernie Watts, Dave Stryker, Sonny Fortune, Kenny Werner, Tim Hagans, Roswell Rudd, Mike Nock, Steve Slagle, Mark Murphy and Pete Christlieb.
In 2003 Sandro released his first recording as bandleader, 'The Sandro Dominelli Quintet- Cafe Varze Jazz'. Receiving rave reviews and accolades, the album went on to receive top honours at the 2003 Western Canadian Music Awards as Outstanding Jazz Recording of the Year. It was nominated in 2004 for a JUNO in the 'Best Traditional Jazz Album of the Year' category.
Sandro's just released a new CD titled "Meet Me In The Alley", and this album is certain to bring his talents to even more listeners across this country because like it's predecessor, it features bold, articulate and adventurous playing. However this time around, this recording showcases his impressive compositional skills.
This is a musician who could have set his sights on only being a much sought-after side man, but watching him anchor set for greats it was obvious Sandro had more to offer. Adding composer and bandleader to the resume requires additional dedication to one's music as well as willingness to make things happen from the ground up. With Sandro, all of this is done with deep emotional commitment as well as musical intelligence. He brings these same qualities from his playing, along with joyful vigour, to his burgeoning career.

I listen to this CD almost every day without tiring of it
author: Rev. John P. Wheeler, c.s.b.When I listen to this CD, I am struck by the amazing talent of the musicians, and the very creative "borrowing" from many of the great jazz musicians. I hear echos of Chuck Mangione and Dave Brubeck, and of so many others. The variety on this CD is awesome. I'm already looking forward to the next creative venture to come from Sandro and his musical gang.
Loved it!
