Extrafly - Vol 24 - Cannonball & Nat Adderley

David Nerattini

Superfly, Rome

The Trevi fountain has nothing on Academy team member David Nerattini, a.k.a Little Tony Negri. He's a veritable fountain of knowledge about slept-on Funk, Jazz and rare Italian Sound Library records, and is for sure, one of the old Roman capital's greatest assets. Along with Silvia Volpato, David publishes Superfly, Italy's answer to Wax Poetics and the like, and his involvement in music goes even deeper: from deejaying in the mid eighties on the island of Santorini (Greece), to producing beats for Italian Hip Hop acts such as Colle Der Fomento, Flaminio Maphia, and Assalti Frontali, this Italiano is also lethal on the drums. See his band's website www.jazzguerilla.com for more info, and stay tuned for David's heavy selections. The Adderley brothers made some of jazz's most enduring moments, here David documents the best bits.
