Nicola Lancerotti was born in 1975 in Padova, Italy. In 1994 he enrolled in the Aerospace Department of the University of Pisa and became an Engineer in 2003. Progressively introduced to the academic world of music by the hand of Master Nino Pellegrini, he started to learn jazz doublebass at the private school Scuola di Musica "G. Bonamici" in Pisa. He simultaneously worked with school combos lead by Andrea Pellegrini with a monographic project on Mingus, Monk and Parker. He took part in workshops for talented musicians with Italian doublebass players Paolino Dalla Porta (Pisa, 2000) and Furio Di Castri (Terni, 2001). He took part in a special course oriented to the "Piano trio language" with pianist Enio Corsaro and drummer Roberto Traverso. Masters Stefano Battaglia, Paolino Dalla Porta and Fabrizio Sferra taught the course. And as a result of their trio's work over a year time, they were awarded the first prize First Pisa Jazz Contest in 2002. Since then, Lancerotti has gone from strength to strength with performances all over the world.
