ANDRE FERRERI
Launching his career after a year at Berklee College of Music touring, New York born, Charlotte NC based guitarist Andre Ferreri has a resume as expansive, freewheeling and genre transcendent as his compositional and playing style. Over the decades, he’s worked professionally with an array of pop, soul and jazz legends.
For 12 years, he led contemporary jazz ensemble Airstream as the main outlet for his eclectic original material and he is first call guitarist for his hometown Charlotte Symphony. His compositions have appeared on TV shows, in films and commercials and for years he produced soundalike tracks for the karaoke company Sound Choice. In 2008, Ferreri co-founded Laser Records, a label created to help musicians promote their music.
For all these vast accomplishments, nothing thrills Ferreri more – or makes him feel more creative, expressive and vibrant - than when he gets back to the traditional jazz and swing that shifted his sensibilities early on from 70’s classic rock to modern and traditional jazz. His perfectly titled latest album Numero Uno – attributed to the Euro sounding Andre Ferreri Quintetto - brings him full circle and is the culmination of the past four-five years of his life. He laid the foundation for his full-fledged return to traditional jazz with his 2015 album Tributes, which included a song dedicated to Joe Pass.
Other longtime associates that form the core “Quintetto” include acoustic bassist Anna Stadlman and pianists Mark Stallings, Phillip Howe and Sean Higgins. Stallings also plays the Hammond B-3 on the barnburner “Uptown Swing.”Ferreri worked for the first time with Kobie Watkins, a well-traveled world class drummer who has skinned for everyone from Kurt Elling and Arturo Sandoval to Sonny Rollins. Ferreri chose to name his group the Italian version of “quintet” because the project has a Euro-Italian feel to it and he wanted to pay homage to both his heritage and the inspiration he found in Italy.
Growing up, Ferreri – who picked up the guitar at age 9 and got serious around 16 – started jazz via everyone from John McLaughlin and Miles Davis to Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Joe Pass and others. After Berklee – where he studied composition and arranging and went to school with future influential guitarists Kevin Eubanks and the late Emily Remler – he hit the road to the tune of 250 dates a year for four years. Later he started gigging and recorded his first vinyl album Projections with Dixie Dregs keyboardist T Lavitz. His next group in the 80’s, an intricate fusion ensemble called Flight 108, recorded four more albums that featured guests like Dave Valentin and Bill Evans. Ferreri’s background includes work with hundreds of legendary artists and custom music for shows on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet and countless others. Other albums he recorded under his own name: A Place in The Shade (2004), Spirit Feel (2010), Tributes (2015) and Airstream-Relatively Speaking (2018)
