Happy Students
Meet Filippo Dall’Asta!
About
Filippo Dall'Asta is a professional Gypsy jazz guitar player and the founder of the Gypsy Jazz Guitar Master and Gypsy Jazz Guitar Makeover Coaching programs. At this point, Filippo has played over 1,500 gigs (and counting!), touring and recording with legends such as Mozes Rosenberg, Lollo Meier, Giacomo Smith, Duved Dunayevsky, and contemporary musicians such as The Onironauts and Tara Minton (Björk) to name a few.
His debut solo album, ‘Mediterasian,’ was lauded by the LA Music Critic Awards as ‘one of the best instrumental albums of 2018.’
Over the years, while continuously (and quite obsessively) honing his guitar skills, Filippo has learned how to effectively deal with the business side of the live music industry: becoming a performer and bandleader, promoting my work, gaining online visibility, and getting paid to play the big stages.
In addition to more than 18 years of teaching experience, about 2 years ago he has started the Gypsy Jazz Guitar Master project as a means to replicate his tried and tested process with his students. Since then, Filippo has helped dozens of students to become professional Gypsy Jazz guitarists, promote their work and get paid to play.
His goal is to help Gypsy jazz guitarists use this process to realise their calling as artists and rise up as recognised musicians.

Giangiacomo Rosso
About Giangiacomo
Giangiacomo Rosso approaches the guitar under the guidance of Pietro Ballestrero. From a very young age he became passionate about Django Reinhardt’s music thus starting a self-taught training in search of the sounds of Gypsy Jazz, appreciating the style of contemporary interpreters such as Bireli Lagrene, Adrien Moignard, Rocky Gresset and Sebastien Giniaux.
After studying and perfecting himself with musicians such as Bireli Lagrene, Angelo Debarre, Adrien Moignard embarked on a busy concert career as a soloist of the Gipsy Accident trio, participating in various editions of the Turin Jazz Festival, the Pennabilli Django Festival and the Popiglio Django Festival.
Finally he is part of the Electroswing project “The Sweet Life Society” with which he has performed in many European festivals: including Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair, Fusion, Peninsula FelZiget, Jiva Zik. In 2014 he played in the Jazz Festivals of Turin, Sorrento, Ragusa, and Rome.
He has performed in Italy, Germany, France, England, Spain, Croatia, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Holland.
Since 2013, he is a teacher at the Torino Jazz School in Italy
Francisco Batista
About Francisco
Francisco is one of my favorite players in the modern gypsy-jazz scene. He has the full package: beautiful improvisations, with great tone, soft touch and perfect timing. A real joy to make music with, and a real joy to listen to.
