Swansea Jazzland 'Matto Prefumo International Quartet'

Matteo Prefumo is one of the most acclaimed Italian guitarists and composers of his generation, capable of moving both international jazz legends and general audiences alike. Born in Genoa in 1991, he developed a personal, deep, and elegant musical voice from an early age — one that now resonates on some of the most prestigious stages across Europe and the United States.
His music is intense, refined, and tells a unique story with every listen — a rare balance of technique, emotion, and artistic vision.
Today, Matteo Prefumo is a leading voice in contemporary jazz — an artist who speaks directly to the heart with an authentic, borderless sound.

Tony Tixier, piano & synths, is one of those rare artists who seem born for music. Born in France in 1986, he began playing piano at the age of six and was already performing on stage by the time he was seven. His early training was rigorous and profoundly rooted in classical tradition: twelve years of harmony, counterpoint, composition, and classical piano, culminating in top honors from the conservatory. But it was in jazz that Tony discovered his true expressive freedom.
Tony Tixier is much more than a jazz pianist: he is a creator of sonic worlds — a musical architect who moves fluidly across eras and styles with rare sensitivity.
Every one of his performances is a journey — unexpected, immersive, and capable of reaching even those new to jazz.

Josh Ginsburg, bass, is one of the most creative and respected bassists on today's contemporary jazz scene. Born in Baltimore, he absorbed early on the rhythmic energy and expressive depth of his hometown, developing a style that blends tradition, modern swing, and a distinct narrative sensibility.
Ginsburg studied with one of the great legends of African American jazz, Jackie McLean, who inspired him to seek in music not only melody and lyricism, but also an open, honest, and deeply listening spirit.
This very attitude is what makes him such a sought-after collaborator: his ability to support, propel, and transform any project—not merely as an accompanist, but as the heartbeat of the collective sound.
Josh Ginsburg is more than a bassist—he's a builder of musical worlds. With his precise touch, extraordinary rhythmic sensibility, and melodic intelligence, he stands today as one of the key figures in modern international jazz.

Francesco Ciniglio is not just a drummer — he's one of those rare musicians who turn every performance into a story to be lived.
Whether playing in a trio, a quartet, or a big band, he brings a clear musical vision: every note must carry meaning, every silence must resonate with purpose.
Francesco Ciniglio doesn't just keep time. He shapes it. Molds it. Turns it into narrative.
And it's precisely this unique, personal ability that makes him one of the most inspired and recognizable musicians of his generation.
