Born and raised in Milan, Fabio Treves became interested in music at a young age, helped by the father's passion for a variety of musical genres, including classical music, jazz, blues, and Portuguese Fado. Treves' interest in music led him to study a wide range of musical instruments, including bass, organ, trumpet, and alto sax. During the 1960s he began playing what would become his signature instrument, the harmonica. He settled near Milan as a blues harmonica player, inspired by Sonny Terry, Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, Alan Wilson, and Sonny Boy Williamson II.

In 1967, he played with his first band, the Friday Blues Group. He later joined the Simonluca e l'Enorme Maria band, which performed at the Festival di Sanremo in 1972. The following year, he again took part in the Festival, this time as a chorister for Fausto Leali, in the song "La Bandiera di Sole."

Fabio Treves founded the first Italian blues band, the Treves Blues Band, in 1974. Soon after, he met the Texan guitarist and harmonicist Cooper Terry after Terry's move to Italy, and the two began a long musical collaboration. During his career, Treves has played with Dave Kelly, Sunnyland Slim, Johnny Shines, Homesick James, Willie Mabon, Billy Branch, Dave Kelly, Paul Jones, Alexis Korner, Bob Margolin, Sam Lay, Louisiana Red, Gordon Smith, Son Seals, and Eddie Boyd. He met Frank Zappa during his Italian visit and remains the only Italian musician to have played with Zappa on stage.

Personnel: Fabio Treves (harmonica, vocals); Alex "Kid" Gariazzo (guitar, mandolin, dobro, slide, vocals); Massimo Serra (drums); Tino Cappelletti (bass).

The taste that Fabio Treves and his blues band have for the music of the afro-american tradition is incredible,and this gorgeous and passionate about live theatre is the example and the tribute.
The harmonic hot Treves alternates between her own songs and pieces by the great:
Willy and Robert Johnson, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Willy McTell, and others.
A beautiful album of blues made in Italy! (translated from Italian...)
