Jazz Meets Hip Hop in Bassist Giulio Xavier Cetto’s World

Rightnowish

Jazz and hip-hop are technically two different genres of music, but for bassist and composer Giulio Xavier Cetto, the connection between the two is indivisible. Both genres seamlessly compliment each other as they show up in the music Cetto listens to as, as well as the music he makes. On this week's Rightnowish, San Francisco's own Cetto discusses the story behind his Instagram handle, his favorite Bay Area music venues, and what it's like to lead Big Trippin, a band that features drummer Thomas Pridgen, saxophonist John Palowitch and pianist Javier Santiago.

This story was originally published June 30, 2023 as part of “Liner Notes” a five-part series, about jazz in Bay Area.
