iRealBook for the iPhone and iPod Touch
Bassist and composer Massimo Biolcati has created a musician's "survival" app iRealBook for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This application contains chord symbols for hundreds of songs of jazz standards. Customers can additionally create and share their original songs via the app to other users.
Biolcati is no regular computer geek, however. He began his musical career in 1988, performing jazz on acoustic bass in Torino, Italy. He studied both classical and jazz bass while performing at area festivals and clubs. In 1993, Biolcati moved to Sweden to study at the Royal College of Music. He soon became a presence on the local jazz scene, appearing with musicians in Scandinavia. He also played with several Scandinavian folk music groups. In 1995, Massimo received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and moved to Boston. There he performed and recorded with some of the finest jazz musicians in town including George Garzone, Jerry Bergonzi, Mick Goodrick and Bob Moses. After five years in Boston, Biolcati was selected for the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz at the University of Southern California where he received his Master's Degree in Music and got the chance to study and perform with Jazz giants such as Dave Holland, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Kenny Barron, John Scofield, Christian McBride, Lewis Nash, Mark Turner and many others. After finishing the Thelonious Monk Institute, he moved to New York City where he has been based since. He has performed and recorded with Terence Blanchard, Paquito D'Rivera and Ravi Coltrane among others.
