Roberto Ciotti (20 February 1953 – 31 December 2013) was an Italian blues musician, composer and guitarist.

Life and career

[edit]

Born in Rome, Ciotti began playing the guitar at the age of 12.[1] From 1970 to 1972 he was a member of the jazz band Blue Morning, then he started a solo career as a bluesman, a composer and a professional guitarist, collaborating with Chet Baker, Francesco De Gregori and Edoardo Bennato, among others.[1][2]

His debut album was Supergasoline Blues, released in 1978.[1] In 1980, he opened the Italian concerts of Bob Marley.[1] In 1989 he got critical and commercial success with the musical score of Marrakech Express by Gabriele Salvatores, with whom he collaborated again two years later in On Tour.[1][2] After the 2002 album Behind the Door he devoted himself mainly to the live concerts.[2] In 2006 he published an autobiography, Unplugged, in which he recounted the difficulty of coherence in doing blues without ever yielding to the lure of show business and easy money.[3]

Ciotti died, aged 60, following a long illness, on December 31, 2013.[2][3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
