Jerome Badini

 His grandfather was an opera singer at the "Scala de Milano" whereas his father, Gerard Badini, is a well known sax player and conductor thanks to 

his work with Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Dee Dee Bridgewater, among others. 

Through out his teens, Jerome discovered Miles Davis, James Brown, Herbie 

Hancock and Prince. Then, house music from Chicago and New York invaded Paris... 

Fueled on Maceo Parker and Bennie Maupin, Jerome Badini created his own 

style: electro-sax ! A powerhouse sound, terse and hypnotic, the sax is a trance- maker in his hands. He's been acclaimed performing live with dj-producers Little Louie Vega (Vinyl, New York), Derrick May (Amnesia, Ibiza) and DJ Sneak (Elysée-Montmartre, Paris). 

Thanks to Dimitri from Paris, he met Alexkid. Together, they composed Trindade for Trip Do Brasil (Sony). Then, with Ilene Barnes, he wrote Fantasy (IC Music) where the Detroit singer's deep voice can be heard answering Jerome's feverish sax. With David Duriez, he has recorded Get On Down (2020 Vision). 

In 2004, Jerome Badini has composed and produced 'Round The Clock (Super Bad Trax), a 12 track journey. This album takes us to the enchanted world of Super Bad, the tenor sax adventurer, who guides us through a day of musical reverie and conquest, all throbbing with that energy many claim, but few possess: Swing ! 

In 2006, he has worked with his father's orchestra for the first time, mixed and produced Scriabin's Groove to set six Alexander Scriabin piano pieces opposite their transpositions into the idiom of jazz. This album has been unanimously acclaimed in the press and awarded.
