Bob Salmieri

Bob Salmieri is an Italian composer, musician and writer. He plays tenor and soprano saxes, ney and turkish baglama. Coming from a Sicilian family who emigrated to Tunisia in the early 1900s, he has always been interested in Middle Eastern culture, contaminating all his projects with those atmospheres and sounds, mixing the jazz language with Arab influence, often inserting unusual instruments in this genre such as the Ney flute, or Turkish stringed instruments such as baglama or the tambur or percussive instruments like the Daf frame drum. He leads the groups: Erodoto Project , Bob Salmieri Bastarduna Quintet / Sextet, Milagro Acustico, and Manosanta Hard Soul. He has published five books, all inspired by Sicily and Mediterranean culture. The alter-egos by Bob Salmieri are: Bob Salmieri Bastarduna Quintet , Milagro Acustico , Erodoto Project , Joe Siciliano Jazz Trio , Beato Angelico , Kafiristan ELEGANT MUSIC FOR DINNER 🍷 🎷 JAZZ CAFE' 🍵🍩 Cool and Soul Jazz BALLADS & BLUES 🎷 CONTEMPLATION 🙏 Chillout, Downtempo & Relaxin' Music FOLK / ROOTS / WORLD & BLUES INDIE FOLK NOW 🎸 VIBES JAZZ ♛Chill, Cool & Smooth Jazz
