[edit]After graduating in trumpet at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome Bassi joined several Roman jazz bands: the Alberto Corvini Big Band, the S. Louis Big Band directed by Bruno Biriaco and the Testaccio Jazz Orchestra.[2] Upon returning to Italy, after a formative Cuban experience, he released Conversation with Franco Piana's Big Band and later with Riccardo Fassi's Tankio Band two albums. In 1992 with Rosario Giuliani he formed the Bassi-Giuliani Quintet, with the 1996 album L'incontro and participation in the Jazz & Image Festival to his credit.
