Biography

edit

Dopo essersi diplomato in pianoforte al Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Milano, inizia nel secondo dopoguerra a lavorare come compositore e trascrittore alle edizioni musicali Radio Record Ricordi e poi, a partire dal 1958, come arrangiatore presso la Dischi Ricordi. Sempre negli anni '50 fa parte di alcuni complessi jazz, di cui il più rilevante è il quintetto del sassofonista Eraldo Volonté (con Sergio Fanni alla tromba, Alceo Guatelli al contrabbasso e Leonello Bionda alla batteria), con cui, nel gennaio del 1958, partecipa al III Festival del Jazz di Sanremo. Collabora in varie occasioni con Giorgio Gaber, scrivendo tra le altre L'alfabeto del cielo, che viene presentata da Tony Renis al Burlamacco d'oro del 1960; scrive inoltre le musiche di alcuni brani per Maria Monti. La maggior parte dei suoi lavori spesso non è firmata o rintracciabile mediante nome e cognome: difatti preferì servirsi di uno pesudonimo, TOANG, il quale conteneva la fine del nome e l'inizio del cognome. Paretcipa al Festival di Sanremo 1965 come compositore con Le colline sono in fiore, canzone che ottiene molto successo nell'interpretazione di Wilma Goich; a partire dall'anno successivo è tra i direttori d'orchestra dei cantanti della Ricordi. Come compositore ritorna al Festival di Sanremo 1968 con Da bambino, interpretata da Massimo Ranieri e dai Giganti. Come solista ha pubblicato album di liscio e di rielaborazioni di musica folk.
