Drummer and composer Giuseppe Paradiso was born in
Santeramo in Colle (BA), Italy in 1983. A graduate of both the
Italian Conservatory N. Piccinni of Bari and Berklee College of
Music, Paradiso has performed at widely recognized venues and
festivals such as The Berklee Performance Center, The Newport
Jazz Festival, Festival Paleariza in Reggio Calabria, Italy and the
Conservatoire de Paris. Victor Mendoza, Director of Contemporary
Performance of Berklee in Valencia refers to Paradiso as “an
outstanding and unique musician with a definite direction in his art.”

Joining Paradiso is an international roster of musicians. From Ankara,
Turkey is vocalist Burcu Gulec along with Massachusetts born Mark
Zaleski on reeds, the Finnish Jussi Reijonen on guitar and oud,
Boston based bassist Justin Meyer and pianist Utar Artun, also from Ankara, Turkey.

The group, which was formed in 2012, plays original music that is
the result of extensive research into various musical styles, traditions
and cultures. The Otherness Collection project was inspired by a
collaboration with philosopher Francesco Paradiso (PhD candidate
at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia) and aims
to explore the ethical implications between the practice of world/jazz
music and the philosophical concept of otherness. The album, which
can be found on CdBaby.com, iTunes and Amazon, will be performed
at Ryles Jazz Club.

Giuseppe Paradiso Meridian 71 is thrilled to present Otherness
Collection at Ryles Jazz Club on Wednesday, February 12 at 9:00
PM. Ryles functions as a full service bar and restaurant.
