Biography Julian Mazzariello & Enzo Pietropaoli
Julian Oliver Mazzariello
born in 1978, is a jazz pianist from Salerno of English origin, a musician. He is an artist who was able to draw all his talent from the Salerno School of Jazz in order to be able to take off. From a very young age, he has performed on the most famous stages in Italy with internationally renowned artists such as Lucio Dalla and Stefano Di Battista.
Julian Oliver Mazzariello was born in Hatfield in England to a Cavalier father and an English mother. Thanks to the passion for music passed on by his drummer father, the Anglo-Italian jazz pianist began studying piano early on.
At the age of seven, he began to cultivate his talent and, when he was only thirteen, he won the competition for promising young musicians organised by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
In 1995, Julian moved to Cava where he got to know the greats of the Salerno jazz scene. He meets, in fact, Dario Deidda and the other brothers and, again, Daniele Scannapieco and Gegè Telesforo. With them he takes part in a jam session that will remain indelible in the pianist's memory.
In 1998, the jazz pianist won the 'Massimo Urbani' award, but his career continues to grow. So much so that with Nicky Nicolai and Stefano di Battista he participates in the 55th edition of the 'Festival di Sanremo'. They win the group section. At the same time, he took part in the TV programme 'Il Senso della vita' with Paolo Bonolis.
And then there are High Five Quintet, the historic group that Julian helped found and the important collaboration with Lucio Dalla.
