Anton and Alessandro

Anton Pazicky studied classical music and achieved a Master Degree. He paid an attention to the lighter genres too, while studying. Last few years he has been concentrated more on genres based on improvising (jazz, folk, ...). But he is still doing classical. Alessandro Rota was born in Milan, Italy, and began playing the guitar at the age of 13. Alessandro gained a Bachelors Degree in Musicology from the University of Cremona (Pavia) with his dissertation entitled "The Concept of genius in popular music”. He then went on to complete a Masters in Jazz Guitar at the Conservatory "A. Vivaldi" of Alessandria in Italy. Alessandro also attended the prestigious Siena Jazz International Summer Workshops where he gained a Diploma. Alessandro was the winner of a scholarship offered by Conservatory “A. Vivaldi” which allowed him to spend three weeks in Athens (Georgia - USA) studying jazz at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music. Alessandro is an experienced session guitarist and an experienced guitar teacher. He has performed with many rock and jazz bands all over Italy and abroad (France, Spain, Greece, Tunisia, USA) in some of the best music venues including Ariston Theater (Sanremo), Expo Milan and Niagara Falls Theater (Canada). Anton and Alessandro have been playing together two years.
