Paolo Tomelleri was born in Vicenza, Veneto, Italy on June 13, 1938. He is an Italian saxophonist, clarinetist and conductor.
He began as self-taught, becoming passionate about jazz from a young age; he then moved to Milan, where he came into contact with Bruno De Filippi, with whom he performed in some formations (for example the Windy City Stompers) in Milanese clubs such as Santa Tecla.
In 1959 he joined the Cavalieri, with Enzo Jannacci on piano, Gian Franco Reverberi on vibraphone, Luigi Tenco on sax and Nando de Luca on keyboards, and with this group he participated in many Dischi Ricordi releases, including many records by I Due Corsari, Giorgio Gaber and Tenco himself.
He then played in many other formations, including Ghigo and the Goghi, the group that accompanied Ghigo Agosti in the first half of the 1960s. He became known in Italy as Mr. Clarinet.
In time Paolo led his own bands and orchestras. He’s noted for his solo work in the 1961-1970 Italian western cartoon series ‘Unca Dunca’ from 1961-1970.
