small
// clear is a project born from a collaboration
between Nicola Concettini and Federico Chiarofonte.
The recently formed quartet focuses on the repertoire
of the two musicians/composers. The initial idea
is rooted in 1960s avant-garde jazz, with its sharp,
assertive sounds and a focus on exploration. These
characteristics blend with those of the original
pieces written for the group and with the identities
and interactions between the musicians. |

SIMONE
NOBILE BLUES BAND |
h
10pm |
|
Blues
Night |
|
For over 25
years, the Simone Nobile Blues Band has brought
the energy and charm of authentic blues to Italian
and European stages, transporting audiences to
the incandescent atmospheres of 1950s Chicago
and the vibrant rhythms of the West Coast, while
also exploring swinging tunes. The project was
born from the passion of Simone Nobile, singer
and harmonica player, who over the years has built
a coherent, profound musical path, faithful to
his African-American roots, while maintaining
a unique and recognizable personality.
The band's repertoire is a veritable journey through
the history of blues since the early 1950s, from
interpretations of great masters such as Little
Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Jimmy
Rogers, William Clarke, T-Bone Walker, and James
Cotton, to original songs that maintain tradition
while adding energy, vitality, and freshness.
Thanks also to a passion for swing, there are
moments where blues blends with the great classics
of Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, and others. The
result is a danceable, powerful, and engaging
blues, capable of captivating both purist fans
and those approaching the genre for the first
time.
The leader and soul of the group, Simone Nobile
is considered one of the most authoritative Italian
harmonica players of his generation. His warm
voice and mastery of the harmonica have made his
style unmistakable. Over the years, he has shared
the stage with true legends of the blues world,
including the great Roberto Ciotti, with whom
he collaborated on his last two albums, and Mud
Morganfield, son of the great Muddy Waters, with
whom they have toured extensively in Italy and
Europe. These experiences have enriched his musical
background, bringing an international dimension
to the band and a deep connection with the roots
of the genre. In 2018, the band released its second
album, I'll Be a Man One Day, which includes covers
of great classics and original songs, expressing
a sound capable of blending energetic groove,
old-school sounds, and authenticity. The album
received excellent reviews from critics and audiences,
confirming the band as one of the most solid acts
on the Italian blues scene. A new album of all
original songs is scheduled for release in 2026.
Alongside Simone, the band features top-notch
musicians, capable of creating a powerful and
elegant sound.
This lineup guarantees a solid and compelling
groove,
with a musical complicity that translates into
energetic performances.
A Simone Nobile Blues Band concert is never just
music, but a total experience, where the audience
is captivated and drawn onto the dance floor,
experiencing the blues in its purest essence.
The authentic sound, the ability to engage, and
the elegant way the band reinterprets classics
make each performance a unique event, capable
of simultaneously moving and making people dance.

Marco
"Dinamite" Corteggiani, one of the founders
of blues harmonica in Italy, was born in 1959 in
Rome. He is a cartoonist and former satirical illustrator
for Il Messaggero. He was literally captivated by
the magic of the blues in the early 1970s. In the
1980s, he began a collaboration with Chicago singer
Harold Bradley, forming the Jona's Blues Band, sparking
an unbreakable artistic partnership that would last
over two decades. In these years Marco Corteggiani
has the opportunity to meet, play and collaborate
with national and international artists from Dodi
Moscati to Bobby Solo, from Renzo Arbore to Carlo
Verdone, Fabio Treves, Herbie Goins, James Cotton,
Louisiana Red, Chicago Beau, Paul Jones, Deitra
Farr, Michael Coleman, Mitch Woods, Tony Scott,
Johnny Mars, Fernando Jones, James Thompson, Sugar
Ray Norcia... Performing with Jona's blues band,
the now legendary Hardboilers, the Fishbone Blues
and the Red Wagons in the most important blues contests
in Italy, such as Pistoia Blues ('94 and '95) and
various editions of the Liri Blues Festival including
an appearance in the film "Maledetto il giorno
che t'ho incontra" by C. Verdone and on TV
(Telethon with Gianni Mina) he earns the nickname
"Mr. Dynamite" given the energy and pathos
he releases during his concerts. M.C. Dinamite now
presents his own band, "Crawfish Pie."
The band was formed by musicians with diverse musical
backgrounds. They include Alessandro Picucci on
drums, Lorenzo Cavicchia on guitar, and Stefano
Marzolla on double bass. Crawfish Pie also features
Rox Marocchini on tenor saxophone, ensuring a warm
