Virginia Genta

ts, *1984 IT
Musician of Jazz

Born 1984 in Italy, Virginia Genta is self-taught and plays saxophone (alto, tenor, soprano, baritone), flutes, clarinet, plus some percussion and keyboards. Since 2003 she works stablely with drummer and percussionist David Vanzan in several projects such as Jooklo Duo, Neokarma Jooklo Trio (or Sextet, Octet, Experience), Golden Jooklo Age, and the Jooklo Finnish Quartet. She started playing music from improvisation while quite young, and has always been moving in the music cosmos with a deep, natural and spontaneous approach to creation, constantly working to find the highest way of expression connected to the oneness of universe. Besides this, the devotion of Virginia finds is freedom also through drawings and illustrations. Among others, Genta has performed with: Takehisa Kosugi (Taj Mahal Travellers), Hartmut Geerken, Makoto Kawabata, Sonic Youth, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Chris Corsano, Sonny Simmons...
