Savino was born in Bari, in sunny Puglia, a

jazz guitar whilst studying in New York City and attending seminars by many of
the masters of jazz. April 2019 was the first time the guitarist visited South
Africa through a performance with the UNISA big band in Pretoria.
“My first visit to South Africa was an
unforgettable experience, so I’m excited to come back in November 2019 for a
small tour to play my new guitar trio project Rebirth. I will play music from Rebirth
with two fine musicians from South Africa: Braydon Hore and Freeman Gumede on
bass guitar and Riley Giandhari on drums.”
Savino is planning to release his 4th album
Rebirth in 2020. It is a modern jazz
guitar project where he brings rock sounds and jazz music through deep
contemporary jazz language. Rebirth
is a mix of ten tracks, two standards and eight original compositions.
His first album Metropolitan Prints received raving reviews by various publications
under which Italian jazz magazine called “Jazzit”. In 2016 “Best 100 European
jazz albums” according to the influent Jazzit Magazine and “Album of the week”
by the famous Radio show Fahrenheit on the National Public Broadcasting Company
of Italy RAI Radio Tre.
During his career, Savino has shared the

Kostadinovic, Flavio Boltro, Tony Monaco, Sebastian Merk, Luca Alemanno,
