Italian-born, London-based Jazz Pianist Bruno D'Ambra

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. On this episode, we talk with Italian-born, London-based jazz pianist Bruno D’Ambra about his new 2025 single Ain’t Nobody and an unconventional, deeply personal journey through jazz. Bruno’s recent work breaks from traditional jazz production methods, created instead through his innovative project My Session Band—a remote recording hub designed to connect musicians and spark new global collaborations. Bruno’s last three singles were crafted using this remote model, highlighting his vision of making his band accessible to artists seeking fresh musical partnerships. Born in Naples, Italy, and raised far from conservatories and concert halls, Bruno developed an intense ear for sound at a young age. In a small apartment with a battered upright piano, music became his refuge—helping him navigate childhood loss and the turbulence of adolescence. In this conversation, we explore his creative process, the philosophy behind My Session Band, the evolution of Ain’t Nobody, and how technology is reshaping the future of jazz collaboration. 🎹 Dig into this story and the sound. 👉 Get Bruno D’Ambra’s music & more:https://brunodambramusic.com/ 🔔 Subscribe for more Neon Jazz interviews with today’s jazz innovators and storytellers.
