A top-notch
trio, with the sounds of the "Piano Trio"
A musical encounter uniting three leading figures
in Italian jazz.
A project that promises interplay, intensity,
and a great jazz tradition, in an ongoing dialogue
between experience and new sensibilities, under
the banner of improvisation and freedom of expression.
Matteo Cidale,
a jazz drummer from La Spezia and former artistic
director of the club, who throughout his career
has collaborated with numerous internationally
renowned artists, including Harry Allen, Scott
Hamilton, Flavio Boltro, and Dado Moroni, returns
to the stage of what has now become his second
home.
On this occasion, he will share the stage with
one of the most important double bass players
in Italian jazz, also from Liguria: Aldo
Zunino.
A key figure in the national jazz scene, he has
played and collaborated with some of the biggest
names on the international scene. The list would
be long, but, to name a few, we find Clark Terry,
Cedar Walton, Jimmy Cobb, Joey DeFrancesco, Benny
Golson, Nat Adderley, Alvin Queen, and Art Farmer.
At the piano, Andrea
Saffirio,
one of the young talents of Italian jazz, an elegant
and refined pianist, collaborates with artists
of the caliber of Pietro Tonolo, Greg Hutchinson,
and Gegè Telesforo, in addition to teaching
and leading some of his own projects.

Night |

Although
he is cited as a young talent in the book “The
History of Blues” by Roberto Giuli (Adelchi),
Matteo Sansonetto is now undoubtedly a veteran of
the European blues scene and beyond. It is no coincidence
that the authoritative English magazine Blues Matters
has defined him as “one of the brightest stars
of Italian Blues.” He trained artistically
in the city of Chicago, which he frequented assiduously
for more than 15 years, where he recorded 3 of his
two 5 albums together with a true all-star band
of musicians, and with real stars of the world blues
scene with special guests, artists such as Lurrie
Bell, Billy Branch, Dave Specter, Chris Foreman,
Omar Coleman, and many others. His works have been
enthusiastically received by international blues
critics, in particular by Living Blues, the most
authoritative magazine in the world, which defined
him as a mature artist capable of blending blues
with other, more modern influences. Equally esteemed
is the benchmark for Italian blues, Il Blues Magazine,
which calls him "an ambassador of urban blues
with spirals of soul and funk... not to be outdone
by his illustrious American colleagues."
He is also one of the few Europeans to headline
Chicago's historic House of Blues, and certainly
the only Italian name on the bill of the celebrated
venue opened by Dan Aykroyd.
His versatility, ranging from blues to soul and
funk, has allowed him to tour with artists of the
most diverse influences, such as James "Bogaloo"
Bolden, trumpeter and bandleader for BB King, and
Waldo Whearers, saxophonist for James Brown, as
well as old Chicago friends Ronnie Hicks, Will Jacobs,
and his mentor Breezy Rodio. Indeed, it's live that
Matteo is at his best. With his energy and showmanship,
he's able to captivate any audience, which has led
him to perform regularly not only in Italy but also
in Spain, France, England, and Ukraine, as well
as headlining numerous blues festivals across Europe.
Whether with a big band complete with a brass section,
an electric quartet, an organ trio, or a duo, Matteo
always manages to connect with his audience, who
continue to follow him faithfully, whether on a
large stage or a small club. |

Pierluigi
Petricca
is a representative of archaic and acoustic blues,
played on the streets, in clubs, and at specialized
festivals. His career has seen several albums, first
with PAPA LEG ACOUSTIC DUO (2007's "Railroad
Blues" and
2009's "Back To Mississippi"), followed
by occasional collaborations, but more often solo
(2015's "At Home" and 2016's "Tales
and Other Stories"). His raw music and songwriting
have made him well-known and appreciated in the
Italian and international blues scene, as well as
by the music press. In 2021, he released "Bad
Days," his third album under his own name.
Gianluca Giannasso
approached drums as a self-taught musician. From
Puglia, he moved to Milan to study at the Civici
Corsi di Jazz and later to Rome, where he began
working professionally. He collaborates with Luca
De Nuzzo, Alessandro Orlando Graziano, and Fabio
Cinti. He took part in impromptu live performances
with Morgan (Bluevertigo) and dabbled in rock with
Starla, Il Corso Delle Cose, I Bambini di Cioccolato,
and L'Ira Del Baccano. He released a solo album
of electronic music under the pseudonym Rev. He
ventured into blues, playing with Dead Shrimp, Spookyman,
and G-Fast Freaks Orkestar. His drumming skills
were so highly regarded on the circuit that he toured
several times with American artists, such as Reed
Turchi and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars).
