Tommaso Moretti is a drummer and composer from Italy who relocated to Chicago in 2013. Upon arrival he has been actively involved in different local music scenes, frequently collaborating and releasing albums as a side musician with artists and bands such as: Ben Lamar Gay, Bottle Tree, Rob Frye, Eric Hines Pan Dulce, Chicago Samba and many others.
He performed worldwide in venues and festivals such as: North Sea Jazz Fest (Rotterdam), Sziget (Budapest), Sesc Pompeia (San Paolo), Chicago Jazz Festival, Barbican Center (London), Winter Jazz Fest (New York) and many more.
In 2017 he released, for the label Amalgam, his first album as a leader: SemoComeSemo. Since then, he has been playing his original music exploring different line-ups and instrumentations. In May 2022 he released the album Inside Out on BACE records. Inside Out is a studio album and a live performance that connects the dots between the intimate dimension of an inspiration and the aesthetic need to translate it into defined musical languages. It’s a quest to find the inner layer of humanity that allows a connection between the meaning of three words: Sentimento, Saudade, Soul.”
"Drummer Tommaso Moretti is from Italy but since relocating to Chicago in 2013 has become an integral figure on the scene."- Peter Margasak (DownBeat)
“It's a remarkably pleasing album, with tunes (all Moretti's) that sound altogether fresh but with a feel that nicely throws back to classic Blue Note sides of the 1960s. Inside Out likely won't top the charts, but it'd be a shame to let it pass by unheard.”—Kurt Gottschalk (Stereophile)
“ Inside Out is the most beautiful interweaving of the traditions of his homeland and his adopted home. But beyond that, it’s also a tapestry of styles across the decades, of avant-garde complexity and pop culture immediacy, and for all that, it’s an intimate personal statement too.”-Joe Muggs (Sound Of Life)
“An expressive, polyrhythmic intermingling of jazz and samba from the Italian-born, Chicago-based composer and his band.
Percussionist Tommaso Moretti takes listeners on a rhythmic trip around the world with a melange of jazz, samba, and canzone napoletana.”-(BandCamp New and Notable)
