Franco
Ambrosetti (born 1941 in
Lugano, Switzerland)
successfully managed two
lives for a long time: on
the one hand as a world
class jazz trumpeter, on
the other hand as manager
of an international
company with two offices
in Switzerland and Italy
and 600 employees having
taken over from his
father. His musical
career is related to
celebrities like Kenny
Clarke, Cannonball
Adderley, Dexter Gordon,
Phil Woods, Michael
Brecker, Steve Coleman,
John Scofield, Greg Osby,
Geri Allen, Kenny Barron
and many others.
Ambrosetti has played in
many venues around the
world. In his
autobiography, he takes
the reader to these
places, plus his
encounters with many
colourful figures of the
jazz world. At the same
time, he recounts how he
managed to master the
balancing act of his life
in a charming and modest
tone. The result is a
fascinating walk through
jazz history - with some
serious side views to the
world of business and its
changing ethics. The
autobiography is
introduced by Jess
Levenson and Roland
Spiegel and contains a
discography (2019).
Translated from the
Italian by Flavia
Ambrosetti and Paul
Kilbey. The table of
