Biography

Mariano was the son of Italian immigrants.

Besides his work and recordings with acclaimed Jazz musicians, he was best known for his use of a traditional, world's loudest Indian wind instrument called Nadaswaram which is similar to Shehnai, another North Indian, hardwood wind instrument.

He played with one of the Stan Kenton big bands, Toshiko Akiyoshi (his then wife,) Charles Mingus, Eberhard Weber, the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble, Embryo and numerous other notable bands and musicians.

Mariano moved to Europe in the 1970s and settled eventually in Köln, Germany with his painter wife Dorothee Zippel where he died in his sleep on June 16, 2009.

Mariano had 6 daughters, including soul/jazz singer Monday Michiru from his marriage with Toshiko Akiyoshi, 6 grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters.
