Marilena
Paradisi "Here and Now", here and now, as the
title says, is a journey into music as a research on improvisation
and extemporaneousness, essences of the jazz language.
The voice of Marilena Paradisi can effectively filter
through her particular vocality, which ranges from the
slightest and most intense interpretation, to the most
reckless experimentation, even the most famous of the
standards, or the most classic of the songs, giving him
an unexpected and surprising interpretative modernity.
Accompanied for the occasion by the splendid and poetic
guitar of Danilo Zanchi, and by the eclectic double bass
player Steve Cantarano.
Music by: Shorter, C. Korea, Henderson, Miles Davis, H.
Mancini, E.Costello, Jobim, Lins, Hutcherson Mal Waldrom;
Russel; J. Mercer; Tom Jobim; Chico Buarque; Bobby Troup;
Edu Lobo; Eumir Deodato; Wilson-Asher and many others.

THE
PARTNERS IN CRIME ROOTS DUO |
h
10 pm |
| Blues
Night |
| |
| The
Partners In Crime project was born in the summer of 2014
thanks at the meeting of two of the most popular musicians
on the vintage scene Italian music: Simone Di Maggio,
leader of the listed Rock'n’Roll band "The
Astrophonix" is considered one of the best European
guitarists, ed Angelo Castiglione, leader of the "Shame
Blues Band", appreciated as one of the most crystalline
blues harmonic talents. The passion for vintage style
strongly influenced by roots music American in the 1950s
and European contamination in the mid-1960s, gave birth
to what many have already called one of the most valid
bands of the Tuscan landscape. The great strength of the
band lies in the natural union of the musical styles from
which the two main performers come, and so on rockabilly,
surf and swing intersect with jump blues, soul and "Black"
rock'n'roll, creating an irresistible cocktail with a
very high charge Energy. Aesthetics also strongly recall
the atmosphere of Chicago of 1956 thanks to the attention
to detail placed by the four musicians who they combine
their personal touch with the typical style of that period.
After 3 years of touring all over Tuscany and part of
Italy the band produces the
his first album "Hoodoo Souls" and he participates,
even before the release of
the latter, at numerous festivals and events of national
importance and international. During the preview period
of the new album I The Partners In Crime participate as
an opening act in the tour of the most important band
on the scene Garage / Rock'n’Roll worldwide: "THE
SONICS". Rob Lind, leader and founding member of
the band since 1960 says about them: "... these guys
have the same grit and energy we had at the beginning
of our career with the Sonics and they are also excellent
musicians ... ", defining The Partners in Crime"
the best band of support he had on this long European
tour”. The duo version allows the two musicians
to dig deep into the research of the roots of black music. |

Palma is tied to the tradition of big band singers, such
as Tony Bennet, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan. So he tries

beautiful American standards. His way of singing as a
crooner will be highlighted in the more swing and traditional
songs, but also in the more modern ones, with more interplay,
going from warm and deep sounds to the colder and sharper
ones. To obtain this flexibility of sound and musical
choice. |

JUAN CARLOS ALBELO ZAMORA DUO |

An
extemporaneous and exciting dialogue between
chords, vocal and otherwise; melodies and
improvisations that move from the voice to
the guitar, from the violin to the harmonic
seamlessly or that split, continuing to travel
together, different and paired. Marco Ricciardi
and Juan Carlos Albelo Zamora cross some cardinal
genres of “sur” music and “Latin”
cultures: a round trip from Latin America
to Italy (with pieces of samba, bossa, tango,
boleros, Argentine zamba , etc.) and with
some pearls of the Neapolitan and Roman folk
and / or songwriting tradition. |

Passion
and love for New Orleans jazz distinguish Sweet Georgia
brown.
The Dixieland Tradition, in the twentieth century, was
the most brilliant genre for many bands, precisely those
that gave light to performers such as: Louis Armstrong,
Jelly roll Morton, Fats Waller, Benny Goodman, Bix Beiderbecke,
Cole porter, all voices and masters to whom this band
is shaped.
The Dixieland of Louisiana by Sweet Georgia Brown will
be interpreted by the sensual voice of Andrea Bruno,
a new voice, a warm voice, with a rare and ancient soul.
For anyone who loves the New Orleans dixie swing, a
sober and elegant atmosphere ! |
