Salvatore Maiore

Salvatore Maiore is a double bassist, cellist and composer. He graduated in double bass from the Cagliari Conservatory in 1990, studying with Rinaldo Asuni, and subsequently taught himself the cello. Since 1997 he has combined both instruments in his concert and recording work.

His long-standing collaborations include Glauco Venier’s trio, Simone Guiducci’s Gramelot Ensemble, clarinettist Gabriele Mirabassi, guitarist Peo Alfonsi and pianist Stefano Battaglia. His recordings with Battaglia include four albums for ECM. Maiore also contributes his own compositions to projects as a leader and to recordings by his collaborators.
