“Music has been my salvation and nowadays it’s my therapy. Music has educated me and made me able to identify my space and to respect that of others. Music has allowed me the privilege of freely living the most exciting moments of my life. It has made me grow, knowing that the most important thing in life is to feel capable of communicating, expressing yourself and to be free to do so. Music has taken me round the world and has allowed me to meet extraordinary people, from whom I have learned a lot. Thanks to the Music. Thanks to: Ben Sidran Leo Sidran Roberto Ramberti Greta Panettieri Alfonso Deidda Dario Deidda Seby Burgio Max Ionata Domenico Sanna Arnaldo “Ainè” Santoro “Fratello” Joseph Bassi Alan Hampton Mia Cooper Fausto Mechilli Alvaro H. Martinez Paul Peterson Bulldog Music Masaboba Edizioni Musicali for the unforgettable moments shared writing music and lyrics together. Thanks a lot to the great Seby Burgio, the only one who was able to give an order to a life of notes, chords, and melodies. This book is dedicated to my daughter Joana, and my beautiful family: Mamma Clara, Papà Roberto, my super Sister Roberta. I love you.” GeGè Telesforo 3
“In order to be a great jazz improviser, you must be a great composer, because jazz improvisation is nothing less than instant composition. In order to be a great jazzman, you must also have your own sound, your voice, that is unique to you and unlike anyone else. By these measures, Gegè Telesforo is both a great jazzman and a great composer. His compositions have the same free swing and melodic innovation that one hears in his brilliant scat solos and his voi- ce is both melodically and rhythmically his own. I have been inspired many times by this voice to ma- tch words to his melodies and to tell stories that are driven by his fantastic sense of rhythm and his deep sense of brotherhood. His message is our message, and in his hands, the bridge between jazz and funk is complete and we are free to explore the worlds of modern groove and swing. Writing songs with Gegè has been one of the great pleasures of my musical experience”. Ben Sidran 4

ALL I HAVE TO SAY I don't wanna talk about my problem Not talkin' of my best romance Just play \"Confirmation\" \"Straight No Chaser\" at your best I ain't talking either of the message of The \"Secret\" to be rich or poor When \"Trane\" blowin' \"Lush Life\" \"My one and only Love\" for you But what I have to say is ritual So then the mind gets cool and spiritual ‘Cause all I have to say is musical And when we sing a song it's magical They say : \"What about THE CHANGE?\" I'm sure I wanna play \"The Bridge\" 'Cause I know The \"God Father\" and \"Papa's got a brand new bag\" I won't be talking of what comes next I won't be saying (that) you're beautiful What I want is just practical I t's a physical approach with you But what I have to say is ritual So then the MIND gets cool and spiritual ‘Cause all I have to say is musical And when we sing a song it's magical Please, don't ask me what I think about it Don't wanna make it nice and smooth I'm not trying to be cool I don't care for what's the best move ‘Cause The Music is the great Religion Where my People swing and groove all night And Jazz is the Teacher and the Funky Preacher is flying High But what I have to say is ritual So then the MIND gets cool and spiritual ‘Cause all I have to say is musical And when we sing a song it's magical 15
