and composer.

A self-taught musician, Dado, who was born in Genoa, Italy, started

professionally around Italy and by age 17 had recorded his first album.

Throughout the 1980s Dado worked mostly in Europe playing at festivals

well as recording several CDs.

During his 35-year career Dado has played with legends including Freddie 
Hubbard, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Ray Brown, Ron 
Carter, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Hank Jones, Niels-Henning Ørsted 
Pedersen and Alvin Queen. A highly respected musician, at age 25 he was 
granted the honor of serving as a juror at the prestigious Thelonious 
Monk International Piano Competition in 1987.[1]

Based in Italy, Dado continues to perform worldwide. In 2007 he won the 
Italian Jazz Awards as Best Jazz Act. In 2009 Dado was named Best 
Italian Jazz Pianist in the Top Jazz referendum sponsored by Musica Jazz 
magazine.[2] In 2010 he was appointed Professor of Jazz Piano at

Trovajoli, Nicola Piovani, Riz Ortolani.

In 1996 he won the "Massimo Urbani" award, while the following year he

In September 2000 Giuliani signed a recording contract with the French

"Luggage", released in April 2001, "Mr. Dodo", published in October 
2002, "More Than Ever", released in October 2004, and "Anything Else", 
of January 2007.

On March 22, 2010, "Lennie's pennies" was released for the "Dreyfus 
Jazz" label, which featured him with Joe La Barbera on drums, Pierre de 
Bethmann on piano and Darryl Hall on double bass.

His latest work is "Images" released in 2013 for the Dreyfus / BMG label.

His sound and technique are influenced by artists such as John Coltrane, 
Charlie Parker, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and Art Pepper, although 
the saxophonist, inspired by these great masters, has been able to 
develop a very personal style, and an absolutely timbre. new. The great 
Italian composer Gianni Ferrio called him the "millenote boy", writing 
the liner notes of Rosario Giuliani's "Tension" album, recorded in 1998 
for Schema Records, all dedicated to compositions for the cinema of the 
maestro and others musicians, reproposed in a jazz key.
