Emanuele Maniscalco (* 1983 in Brescia ) is an Italian jazz musician (piano, drums, composition).

Live and act

Maniscalco is largely self-taught as a musician . Since 2012 he has been studying (without a previous degree) in the postgraduate program of the Rytmisk Music Conservatory in Copenhagen.

He started playing the piano at the age of eight and switched to drums four years later. Since 1999 he has played in the local jazz scene. Enrico Rava discovered him as a teenager at a concert in Siena and immediately brought him into his workshop band. Between 2004 and 2007 Maniscalco played regularly with Rava. Giovanni Guidi brought him into his first trio (heard on Guidi's critically acclaimed album Tomorrow Never Knows 2006), but later also performed in a duo with him. He also worked with Stefano Battaglia ( Laboratorio permanente di ricerca musicale 2009) and occasionally with Stefano Bollani , Gianluca Petrella and Emanuele Cisi ( The Age of Numbers 2009). Since 2005 Maniscalco has played the piano again and now works both as a pianist and as a drummer. He has been recording albums under his own name since 2012.

In 2010, Nicolas Masson and Roberto Pianca (guitar) formed the collaborative trio Third Reel , with whom he has released two albums on ECM Records since 2013 . He continues to maintain a duo with bassist Thomas Morgan ( Copenhagen Season . 2014), as well as with guitarist Sandro Gibellini .
