Paolo Tomelleri represents one of the most recognizable figures of Italian swing and classic jazz. Clarinet, saxophone, arrangements, orchestra direction and a long performing career form the core of his musical identity.

His path connects the Milanese jazz scene, popular music, theatre work and a continuous attention to the great American repertoire. In the archive, Tomelleri appears as a bridge between historical language and living performance practice.

The Revival perspective highlights his role in transmitting style, repertoire and ensemble culture across generations. His sound and direction keep the clarinet tradition close to the energy of the bandstand and the precision of orchestral writing.
