Guitarist, composer and born arranger to Naples in 1963, Nicola Mingo is one of the greater European representatives of the guitar of modern mainstream jazz. He studied jazz harmony and simultaneously classic guitar with teachers of the conservatory that he graduated from which was the Conservatory S. Pietro to Maiella in 1985, known for presenting performances and seminars such as the most important representatives of the guitar jazz (Joe Pass, Jim Hallway, Joe Diorio) playing, meanwhile, with Bill Pierce, Terence Blanchard, Cedar Walton, Billy Higgins and Paul Jeffrey.
The style of Mingo re-elaborates and anchors his personal and creative style in the manner of the creators of bop Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie with the style of Wes Montgomery. WE REMEMBER CLIFFORD, is his sixth experience as a leader, the first one on label EmArcy, the same one that Clifford Brown carved historic masterpieces.
