 morePartipilo was born in 1974. He began his musical studies on clarinet and
saxophone at age eight, and a year later was already playing in local bands. At
15, he enrolled in the Conservatory of Music in Bari where he studied classical
music, composition, and theory with Roberto Ottaviano. Upon graduation he worked
live with Mark Murphy, Tony Scott, Enrico Rava, and Rossana Casale. From 1995 to
1999 he performed and studied with Mario Raja, Gianluigi Trovesi, Paolo Fresu,
and others. He also played with the Dolmen Orchestra in their collaborations
with John Surman, Louis Sclavis, and Michel Godard. During this time, Partipilo
was also working as a studio sideman for Schema. He played on records by Fez
Combo, Paolo Achenza, the Jazz Convention, and Quarteto Moderno.

In October of 1999, Partipilo made his first sojourn to New York City. Within
three months, he'd fallen in with a group of younger, like-minded musicians
including Jason Moran, Tarus Mateen, Nasheet Waits, and Greg Osby, and worked
clubs and bandstands across the city.

Returning to Italy in 2000, Partipilo founded Urban Society, an Italian jazz
collective with bassist Mauro Gargano and drummer Fabio Accardi. He guested on
Nicola Conte's Jet Sounds, the historic hit meld of dance music and jazz, and
the pair have worked together ever since. Partipilo also won a spot with the
Bruno Tommaso Orchestra and appeared on Steamboat Bill, Jr. In 2001, he joined
Dave Liebman in the international jazz collective Berlin Experience.

He signed to Soul Note in 2002 and cut Urban Society's self-titled debut. It
included 11 Partipilo originals, which he also arranged. Interestingly, his
Italian trio played on less than half of the set's tunes, while American drummer
Waits and Japanese bassist Atsushi (Az'shi) Osada played on the lion's share.
The saxophonist also reprised his role with Tommaso's orchestra for Amare Terre
(La Musica Di Domenico Modugno). In 2004, the Soul Note album BASIC was credited
to Gaetano Partipilo & Urban Society. That year the saxophonist also played a
core role on Nicola Conte Apresenta Rosalia De Souza: Garota Moderna, and
assisted on Cabaret Noir's self-titled debut. The following year, in addition to
studio work with Gerardo Frisina and Pino Minafra, he played on Conte's remix of
Louie Vega's "Our Love." After signing a one-off deal with Emarcy, Partipilo
returned to New York and cut 2007's The Right Place with pianist Roberto Tarenzi
and an American rhythm section consisting of Waits, guitarist Mike Moreno, and
bassist Matt Brewer.

In 2008, Partipilo played European tours with Urban Society and worked in the
studio with Conte on Rituals, and with vocalist Alice Ricciardi on her Blue Note
debut, Comes Love. Later that year he issued the avant collaborative outing I
Like Too Much with American guitarist Miles Okazaki and drummer Dan Weiss for
Auand. Partipilo and Urban Society released Upgrading in 2011. His most
ambitious outing up to that date, it included two long-form, multi-part suites
and three supplemental compositions. The following year the saxophonist returned
to the studio with Conte for Love & Revolution, and served in the quartet of
pianist Livio Minafra on the Enja-issued Surprise.

In 2012, Partipilo performed a commissioned work for a large ensemble at the
Dubai Jazz Festival. A hand-picked, star-studded group of players and singers
performed a collection of American and Brazilian standards from the 1960s,
re-arranged for the 21st century by conductor Partipilo. The following year,
many of the same performers reunited in an Italian studio and cut Besides: Songs
from the Sixties on Schema. It charted and is regarded by many critics as his
masterpiece. The saxophonist also worked with Conte on the seminal Free Souls,
and joined the faculty of the Conservatory of Music in Foggia.

In 2015 Partipilo toured Africa as part of the Puglia Jazz Factory and played on
the studio sessions that yielded The African Way. In 2016 he began working with
Fresu's band, resulting in the album Around Tǔk, and created Gaetano
Partipilo & the Contemporary Five for the Fresu-produced album Daylight on the
Tǔk Music label. The all-Italian ensemble went to New York and performed it
live on four consecutive evenings in December.

In 2019, Partipilo followed the Muse that had guided him to create Besides a
couple of years earlier, and hired a big band and vocalists Angela Esmerelda and
Carolina Bubbico to record its follow-up, Boom Collective, a swinging, delirious
meld of retro and modern jazz that resonated not only with jazz audiences, but
with savvy club DJs all over the globe. In 2020, Partipilo and bassist Giuseppe
Bassi joined drummer Alessandro Napolitano and pianist/vibist Mark Sherman in
the New Jazz Quartet for Other Side, which was issued by Jazzit. © Thom Jurek
