Italian pianist and composer Umberto Petrin is a member of the <a href="spotify:artist:1CURJr4579TT9i4BsHStPk">Italian Instabile Orchestra</a> (since 1997) and Jazz Chromatic Ensemble, and has regularly collaborated with one of Italy's original free jazzers, trumpeter <a href="spotify:artist:41PUgUWs3WMzeM8OFXlBwx">Guido Mazzon</a>. Having studied the piano since the early '70s, Petrin didn't start playing jazz until over a decade later, when he first got involved in a trio, whose recorded debut came in 1987, then also in a quartet, and began working occasionally with Milan-based Rai's Big Band. By 1990, he had ventured into free jazz territories and begun working with <a href="spotify:artist:41PUgUWs3WMzeM8OFXlBwx">Mazzon</a>, and experimenting with ways to incorporate his other love -- poetry. Petrin has written poetry since his late teens, published two collections, Perimetri and Miles, has worked on a number of literary reviews, and as a teacher. Petrin has led a number of albums for Splasc(h) Records, and collaborated with esteemed jazz musicians including <a href="spotify:artist:1CURJr4579TT9i4BsHStPk">Instabile</a> members <a href="spotify:artist:72vioIyz3G8Ihu1CboAVSA">Gianluigi Trovesi</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0NLlZlYs28ClkYXasvqmjy">Enrico Rava</a>, as well as <a href="spotify:artist:1BEsuwAkTQMG50TeHB5qny">Steve Lacy</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4YNvbaOaqp5pzC5US5t48k">Lee Konitz</a>, and more. ~ Joslyn Layne, Rovi
