The co-leader of Musica Reservata - Michael Gassmann - is a Swiss trumpetist, who co-operates with the creators of new Italian jazz. For almost thirty years he has extensively performed on new jazz stage.

The musician plays trumpet since the age of eight. When a teenager, M.Gassman used to perform with various projects. At the age of twenty the musician has already appeared on professional jazz stage.

A unique colour to the sound of Musica Reservata is provided by the guitar player and composer Vincenzo Mingiardi, famous expert of Oriental traditions as well. In the past ten years he studied Oriental cultures and so extensively studied with Indian culture, that Italian tourist clubs even published his two guides about India. It is natural that despite to the Western music clichés - from jazz to minimalism - V.Mingiardi's style was influenced by non-European music cultures.
