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 rich and expressive sound.
Over the past 15 years, he has headlined concerts across the globe, with performances in Berlin, Milan, Paris, London, Beijing, New York, and beyond. Whether playing with his quartet, solo project, or alongside other musicians, Lombardi consistently delivers dynamic and memorable performances.
As a composer and musical director, he has arranged and led numerous theatrical and musical productions.
His work has received international recognition, including the Jury Prize, awarded by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, at the 2014 International Songwriting Competition.
In 2018, Lombardi was invited to perform 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.
