Luca Dalpozzo is a double bass player, electric bassist, composer born in Bologna in 1983. He studied with great double bass masters such as Ares Tavolazzi (jazz) and Alberto Farolfi (classical), he studied Cuban music in depth with Jorge Reyes Hernandez in La Habana, and he obtained the I and II level Academic Diplomas in Jazz Music (Jazz Double Bass) at the Conservatories of Ferrara and Adria and the diploma in Classical Double Bass at the Bologna Conservatory.
