Biography
Mauro Voconi plays the bass 4/5 fretted, fretless, double bass, guitar.
Born in Abruzzo, Italy in 1959, he begun his musical career (self-taught)
as guitarist at 14 years.
From 18 years, he studied the bass with its inseparable Jazz Bass Vintage CAR' attending training courses, courses, seminaries, jam sessions and musical ensembles with famous international bassists as M. Miller, To. Johnson, G. Willis.
He has worked with many other great musicians from Italy. The frequentation of these great musicians coincides with important events and his first jams with musicians of great calibre as Erskine, Acuna, and Vieira Elenchiamo.
He has collaborated in studio or live presentations with Otmaro Ruiz, Alfonso Vieira (drummer of Toquino-De Paula, Jobim), Mario Schilirò (Zucchero Guitarist), Goggi, Del Turco, Morandi, Mannoia, Alan White, Fontana, Radus as well as with many other artists of the Italian scene.
He has toured, recorded and played professionally all around the world. He has dedicated great time to the study the technical/stylistic evolutions of the best bassists and emerged groups of last the 20 years. He is in perpetual search for “the best” musical instruments, from the vintage to useful technologies, but overall he is more motivated to find his own voice than for musical executions.
He endorses and works with several markets and musical centres for clinicians, demonstrating and presenting the most commercialized instruments of the musical market.
He has played in hundred of concerts, pubs, night clubs, live music clubs, theatres, public squares and stages attending more than 30.000 presentations and collaborating with an immense number of artists and musical Groups. He also has done some experiences and presences in TV, RAI and Mediaset.
He is fundamentally a bassist who plays Latin jazz, fusion, South American rhythms with touch of salsa and Dominican styles. He pays particular attention to the pop/rock music e.g., S.Wonder, Jamiroquay, Toto, U2, Queen, Incognito and other great and mythical groups, always aiming eclecticism and new vision on several techniques of execution. He holds a Master in Computer science, Computer Science Adviser with a large experience on music computer, interfaces and programming
Reviews from international network: Mauro Voconi is an Italian bassist, originating from Abruzze. His technique and executions are the musical fruit of his great experience and many influences which denote his character and personality. He collaborates with artists of world-wide reputation.
He has realized and produced its new record “Thanks My Friends” with artists as Otmaro Ruiz, Mario Schiliro' (Zuchero’s guitar player) and, of course with his legendary group “Lytra Group”, in which he has done all compositions and arrangements.
Voconi’s music and executions are of great impact with a personal touch of Fusion/DUB and Latin/jazz contaminations. His sound is authentic and meticulous.
Voconi new collaboration involve an English artist (former Oasis’s band player) which whom he will tour and record live. His new album cover rhythms of acid & Latin/Jazz, this will be recorded with artists of high caliber.
As a classic bass player his slap/tapping techniques are fulminating while when playing acid jazz and South American music he succeeds by his sweeping force and his character. Optimal musician, great personality.
His has setup particular amplitudes switching between high frequencies to the pedal’s techniques which are difficult to understand.
Remarkable timber and a dynamic personal sound.
