Michel Bisceglia (°1970) composes, arranges, produces, directs, teaches and performs. He lives and breathes music. Dewey Redman, Toots Thielemans and Philip Catherine; they all know the scope of this musician's aptitude.This Italian Limburger has a penchant for emotion and depth combined with a natural litheness.

He also leads a tight trio. Bassist Werner Lausher has a crisp sound and drummer Marc Lehan thrusts, head first, straight into the music. 2007 saw the release of their successful third CD, ‘Inner You’. The trio has acquired a lot of maturity since the debut CD 'About Stories' in 1997 – Bisceglia rounded up trumpet player Randy Brecker and saxophonist Bob Mintzer - and the follow-up 'Second Breath'. The flood of ideas that emerges from Michel's improvisations seems endless; there is so much to play and so little time. Gourmets have known it for a long time: flexibility is Bisceglia’s trademark.
