Jazz guitarist and composer Simone Guiducci, was born on May 24, 1962 in Turin, Italy. Guiducci has been hailed as one of the most talented musicians on the Italian jazz scene since the early '90s, going on to make several internationally acclaimed recordings as leader.

As one well known critic puts it, Gramelot's folk-jazz is “fluid and free, rippling between jazz, classical and popular music, between regional and global, between the ancient and modern world. It is a language of jazz improvisation interwoven with popular melodies, spoken with an ease and grace. It is many 'languages', spoken as musical expressions or idioms, which come together in a world where the imagination shapes them into new and old forms that are always intriguing”.
Guiducci has received acclaim both from Italian critics, who voted him second in Top Jazz's classification of emerging talents in Italy, and from abroad, with reviews in leading specialist magazines including Jazzman (France), All About Jazz (USA), Cadense (USA), Jazzmagazine (France) and Jazzlive (Austria).
CD "Chorale" came in at number six in the 2002 best jazz record top ten, voted by the panel of critics judging in the Topjazz classification of the specialist monthly magazine Musica Jazz. The recording was also “Pick of the Week “ on the prestigious US portal All About Jazz.com (February 2003) and hit no. 2 (July 2003) in the JazzCharts of the KSZU radio station (Stanford University).
