Bio

Stolen Paintings is the weird and wonderful debut solo album from Salon Kingsadore guitarist Gianmarco Liguori. Working with some of Australasia’s finest Jazz musicians, Liguori has come up with a world of sound that blurs the gaps between psychedelic Rock, free Jazz, lounge and world music.

Liguori teamed up with his friend and former trumpet tutor, Kim Paterson for the project, and through him got involved with the other musicians who perform here. The veteran musicians who contributed to the album have had decades of recording and performance between them since the early 1960s, in the United States, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia, performing with some pretty huge names in Jazz.

Taking inspiration from 1960s film soundtracks, Stolen Paintings weaves a loose story throughout the album as though it were a soundtrack itself. It may be instrumental, but that doesn’t mean it should be taken as “wallpaper” music.

Gianmarco went on to release Ancient Flight Text in 2008 and an LP Duga-3 in 2013.
