Sergio began playing at a very early age and was performing in public by the time he was four. His father, Luciano Salvatore, is a music teacher who majored in classical piano at Boston University and the Berklee College of Music. After teaching at Berklee for five years, Luciano created his own music school North Jersey Music Labs, which specializes in teaching improvisation. It wasn't long before Sergio became his father's star pupil.

Early in 1992, a home video of one of Sergio's performances came to the attention of the Director of A&R at GRP Records. A live audition at the Salvatore household followed soon after resulting in the recording of Sergio’s self-titled debut album for the label, cutting seven original tunes and receiving critically-favorable response to the record.

The 1994 follow-up on GRP, Tune Up, included compositions by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, and Chick Corea and led to appearances with the American Jazz Philharmonic and to performances in Japan, Italy, Canada and at selected venues in the U.S. including Carnegie Hall and the Ravinia Jazz Festival. In 1996, Sergio recorded Always A Beginning, an all-acoustic album for Concord Jazz Records that featured his keyboard artistry in a trio setting, alongside bassist John Patitucci and drummer Peter Erskine. Subsequently, Always A Beginning was selected as one of JazzTimes magazine’s favorite albums of the year.

Following his relationship with Concord Records, Sergio joined the roster of N2K Encoded Music, a New York based media/technology company focusing on music and the Internet. There he recorded his first decidedly contemporary jazz recording produced by Chuck Loeb and including veterans Steve Gadd (drums), Will Lee (bass), John Patitucci (bass), Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone), Bob Mintzer (soprano saxophone), and David Charles (percussion).

Recently, Sergio has been writing music for a variety of settings including solo piano, trio, and quintet. His new trio been focusing on new material and performing throughout the world. Mr. Salvatore also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusettes.

Sergio Salvatore is a Steinway Artist.

Like Someone in Love
Sergio Salvatore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,

And feeling like someone in love.

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Sergio Salvatore's song "Like Someone In Love" describe a state of being completely captivated by another person. The singer is so smitten with their love interest that they feel like they're walking on air, and are even prone to tripping over themselves in their day-to-day life. The fact that the singer is "out gazing at stars" and "hearing guitars" suggests that they're spending a lot of time lost in their own thoughts, dreaming of the person who has captured their heart.

The line "Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove" is particularly interesting, as it conveys a sense of vulnerability and powerlessness. The singer is completely at the mercy of their feelings for this person, and their physical response to them is so overwhelming that they feel "limp". This idea of being "like someone in love" is one that many people can relate to, as the experience of falling deeply in love can be all-consuming and disorienting.

Overall, these lyrics are a beautiful depiction of the intense emotions that accompany falling in love. Through vivid images of stargazing, tripping over one's own feet, and feeling weak in the knees, Sergion Salvatore captures the feeling of being completely spellbound by another human being.

Line by Line Meaning

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I've been spending my time staring up at the stars,

Hearing guitars like someone in love.
I hear the sound of guitars playing love songs and it resonates with me.

Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, my actions surprise even myself,

Mostly whenever you're around me.
especially so when I am in your presence.

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
I feel light and free and my steps are as though I am flying,

Bump into things like someone in love.
I tend to be clumsy and unaware of my surroundings, lost in thoughts of love.

Each time I look at you,
Whenever I catch a glimpse of you,

I'm limp as a glove,
I become weak and pliable,

And feeling like someone in love.
overpowered by a sensation of being absolutely in love with you.
