The Quartetto is formed apart from Maurizio Maiorana, who is the voice, from Tobia Vaccaro (guitar and violin), Mimmo La Mantia (guitar), in the past they both were guitarists for Rosa Balistreri and at the moment they are among the more interesting guitarists of the jazz scene, and from the Dutchman double bass player Marko Bonarius (double bass), who have moved to Sicily for a few years...
