Milo Lombardi is an Italian saxophonist and composer, with a unique style that blends jazz and meditative music.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, and Joshua Redman, Lombardi is known for his intense and harmonious sound.
As a seasoned performer on prestigious international stages, like B-flat, A-Trane, Blue Note, Birdland and Montreux Jazz Festival, Lombardi has earned critical acclaim and a devoted fan-base. Whether playing with his quartet, solo project, or touring with pop stars, Lombardi consistently delivers dynamic and memorable performances.
Lombardi’s compositions have received international acclaim, including an honorable mention, awarded by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, for his track “Circular Quay” in the 2014 International Songwriting Competition.
In 2018, Lombardi had the honor of performing for the former Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, at the 20th anniversary of the German Ministry of Culture.
Lombardi is also a pioneer in the use of blockchain technology for his music releases.
Through his solo project, NiftySax, the Italian saxophonist has made history as one of the first musicians in the world to release instrumental, improvisational music on the blockchain. His album, Nifty Sax Spheres, was a groundbreaking success, selling out in less than 12 hours and paving the way for the release of music as a digital collectible asset.
Lombardi also founded Nifty Music, a music label that has helped independent musicians create some of the most successful music releases in web3, generating over $1 million in sales for the artists.
His fingers glide ever so lightly over the keys, he exceeds the normal level of virtuosity.
