Drummer/Musician and Worldwide Manager for the Antonio FLINTA Quartet, Rome, ITALY
Antonio FLINTA is a Pianist, composer and educator born in Chile, studied in Madrid at the Taller de Musicos with
Joshua Edelman, and attended masterclasses with Barry Harris, Bob Moses and Chuck Israels,
among others. Soon after he won a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass.,
where he studied composition and arrangement, improvisation with Ed Tomassi and jazz piano with
Ray Santisi. In Rome in 1993, after playing in various bands, he formed his own trio with Roberto
Bucci on bass and Claudio Gioannini on drums, starting a musical relationship and a friendship that
lasts for more than twenty years.
Focusing on original compositions and interplay, the trio recorded four CDs: “The Meeting” (2000),
“Tree and Figure” (2003), “La Edad De La Ira” (2005), and “Portraits and Songs” (2007), and
toured both national and international jazz festivals. The song “Ninietta” included in the album “La
Edad De La Ira” was a finalist in the 2006 USA Songwriting Competition. In 2008 the trio
expanded its expressive possibilities becoming a quartet with the contribution of longtime friend
tenor saxophonist Piercarlo Salvia. The quartet toured four continents, gained wide recognition and
recorded two celebrated CDs “Tamed” (2009) and “Art is an Insurgent Poem” (2013). In 2015, with
alto saxophonist Paolo Farinelli, the quartet toured internationally and new compositions led to the
