Simone Manunza started his career in Milan, performing in venues and local festivals around Italy playing in different bands, but often conducting his own bands and composing his own music.
In the 00’s, after studying deeply the music of John Coltrane Simone produced the album ‘Coltrane’s Colours’ which received good reviews in the authoritative Italian Magazine MUSICA JAZZ.
Since moving to North Wales Simone has started wide collaborations with Welsh and English musicians in the north, taking part in a few editions of the the Manchester Jazz Festivals with the Manchester based band AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ and other festivals and venues of North Wales and North England.
In 2022 started a new guitar trio and started working on a project featuring the Italian repertoire. Between the numbers of this repertoire you can find pop songs and swings from the 50’60’, Arias from Puccini’s operas, Neapolitan music from end of the 19th century and film music by Morricone, along with Simone’s compositions.
