Phase 1 This experience had the advantage, that after only three months I left the band because it had become too easy. At the same time, now at the age of 18, I took Jazz lessons. My first Highlight was the Jazz-Standard "Autumn leaves". But only the visit at the Jazz festival in Montreux really lit my love for the Jazz-guitar. After the basic practice in Jazz- and classical guitar I applied for the "Swiss Jazz School" in Bern where I had to pass an entry exam. Five years of education followed, during which I had the opportunity to join my teachers Andy Scherrer, U. Arlati, Joe Hairler and Ch. Baader for Live acts which gave me the experience necessary for my further musical career. My diploma since then, is hidden in the cupboard. Learning by doing is still my daily business. My mentor at the "Swiss Jazz School" in Bern was my teacher Ira Kriss. It was always his utmost concern, that every note you play, actually meant to be played. From Big band Jazz HYPERLINK "http://www.deepscratch.ch/Band/LorisPelosoBio.html" \t "_blank" (Trombone) over Fusion, all the way to Latin Music & Pop, I changed my style and the rehearsal room evening to evening, only to please the audience every weekend on stage. During my studies I played in five different bands, so I would always be up to date. My personal slogan even today is still: Be as manifold as possible. This way I have a better chance to survive in the "music-circus". Though this means for me, not to copy, not to have any limits, but to be ME. I am the Original, people want to hear Me, a mix of musicality, personality and extroversion.
Kaliningrad (1993) Parallel to the Tours I founded my own formation "FUNKOLOGY", for which I composed entirely new music from 1995 to 1998. On Swiss Club tours, the Jazz festival Willisau (1997), Jazz festival Moscow and Kazan (1995) I acted in concert and performed live.
Within 6 months, more exact from October 1996 to March 1997, I published my first Solo-Album: "Storia Personale" as front man and Rapper in Italian. I had rediscovered my language. It became more and more obvious, that as front man I was receiving all the attention of the people, which is known to be a risk factor. During this time, I additionally played the trombone in the "Cosimo Lampis Salsa Orchestra" with Latino rhythms and worked as arranger. This gave me a manifold insight into the south-American music scene. The Year 1999 was something like a turning point in my life. In the middle of the preparation for my second solo-album I fell very ill. The illness forced me to a whole year of rest and withdrew me from the public. But there is no such thing as coincidence and this “break” was the most important one that formed my life. What influence it had on my music and my work, I can not define. Beginning of the Year 2000, I started the first Mexico Tour with my favourite musician and friend, saxophonist Markus Hauser (CH). As a result of our tour we brought out 2 albums. Jazz mixed with original pieces from Argentina (Tangos) and Mexico (Boleros). In the following years we made two more tours through Mexico. In December 2001, at one of my last concerts with the Band HYPERLINK "http://www.swiss-music-news.ch/welcome.html?/cd/reviews/Funkology.html" \t "_blank" "FUNKOLOGY", I met DJ Bobesch, who led me back to the roots. During a live concert he heard my Wah Wah guitar and showed me his version of it. Two days later after a two hour telephone conference with him, the band HYPERLINK "http://www.brandnewrhythm.com" \t "_blank" "THE BRAND NEW RHYTHM" was founded with 5 crazy stage performers. This band played pure funk: Deep Funk. Chris Lohr: Organ - Producer and Musician, worked for HYPERLINK "http://www.sting.com" \t "_blank" STING, HYPERLINK "http://www.jimmycliff.com/v-css/home" \t "_blank" Jimmy Cliff, Udo Jürgens, Gianna Nannini Between 2001 and 2007 this band played over 100 concerts in Switzerland and Mexico. Diverse records, amongst them 3 Vinyl, 4 4 inch and one CD, followed. Bobesch’s demand is and will always be the "Real Funk", be it by hook or by crook. His motto: "This band only is worth as much, as I have original soundtracks which are going to be rare in 20 years." – He’s a DJ and thinks like a one.
Out of the encounter with HYPERLINK "http://www.web-art.ch/mfp/mfp2/larr.html" \t "_blank" Larry Woodley, the "LARRY WOODLEY BAND" played live on "Renaissance-Stage" at the Jazz festival Montreux for a whole week in July 2004. In the same Year I went on a long Switzerland tour with "BRAND NEW RYTHM" and founded the "MARK HAUSERS ART PEPPER PROJECT" with my lifelong musical partner – HYPERLINK "http://www.hauser-jazz.ch" \t "_blank" Markus Hauser. The Year 2006 was full of activities as Live-Musician: Approximately 90 concerts! As a result, I recorded the live cut "Dennis Artis & the Geilos" with the formation of the "revived" Dennis Artis (former front man of Joe Geilo & the Heart breakers). Tom Jackson is "the Man"! His reference list is unbelievable. He produced albums for David Bowie, Guano Apes, Betty Midler, Scorpions, Mike Oldfield and many more. Tom Jackson, with his excessive character, brought the maximum out of my songs, and so it became a very personal, absolutely great album. In between I was live on stage on and off. In April 2007 I went on Mexico-Tour with "ELECTROFUNK" as well as I had different Club- and Open Air gigs with "MINUS 8", "THE GEILOS" and "POCKET FUNK". With the "BRAND NEW RHYTHM" we had an extensive Tour and in October the 45th single "B.N.R. Groove" was published. After Dennis Artis left the Band, we renamed it to HYPERLINK "http://ch.tilllate.com/DE/event/details/5792553" \t "_blank" "LP’s SOUL EXPRESS". "LP" stands for "Loris Peloso", a project under my own name, something that hasn’t been the case in years. |
