Jimmy Villotti

[1] From 1963 he played with a group Meteors; they made recordings and appeared with the broadcaster RCA Italiana, accompanying Gianni Morandi.

He played with artists such as Francesco Guccini (1979), Claudio Lolli, Sergio Endrigo, Ornella Vanoni, Luca Carboni and Morandi (1981–1984).

He was inspired by Steve Grossman, Tony Castellano, George Coleman, Al Bacon and René Thomas.

He wrote the intense "Io sono un treno" (I am a train) for Morandi, about the life of musicians on a continuous journey.

In 2019 he wrote Onyricana, published by Calamaro Edizioni, a book recounting a hidden world of imagination coming from dreams and the unconscious.
