Giorgio should not be confused with Paolo. While the world star Paolo Conte stages himself, the younger brother Giorgio impresses with skilled understatement. He is one of the quiet ones in the country. A poet with a large dose of self-irony.

Growing up with the records of his parents, with French chansons, American jazz that his father, a notary, improvised on the piano, and with Italian folk music, the brothers soon began to compose successful songs together, Paolo writing the lyrics and Giorgio the music. Both studied law, both became lawyers, both led a double life between files and notes, office and stage. When Adriano Celentano turned Paolo Conte's songs like “Azzurro” into international hits, the paths of the brothers diverged. While Paolo slowly but surely embarked on the path of a world career, Giorgio continued to write songs for Italian stars like Mina, Milva, Ornella Vanoni, Francesco Baccini, or Fausto Leali.

It was only in 1993, after a performance at Italy's most famous festival for sophisticated chansons, the “Premio Tenco,” that Giorgio Conte suddenly realized he wanted to live only on his art from then on. Later that year, his first album “Giorgio Conte” was released. Since then, new albums have regularly been released, some of which have received awards, and Giorgio Conte has developed his unmistakable style: a mix of retro charm with French flair, a bit of the 20s, 30s, a bit of the “Roaring Fifties” and “Swinging Sixties” - a guest garden with colorful light bulbs, a dancing couple, the bearable lightness of being, that might be Giorgio Conte's message framed by nostalgia, peppered with irony and just that fine, quiet humor. A seigneur and a storyteller from head to toe.

That he only performs with top-notch musicians goes without saying. The small band is well-rehearsed, everyone knows exactly what to do at every moment, even though everything seems improvised.

Giorgio Conte - vocals, guitar, Alberto Parone - drums, mouth bass, Alessandro Nidi - piano, Bati Bertolio - accordion, vibraphone.
