Skinny Red Pilgrims Art - Jazz Fusion
Thursday 7th July 9.30 p.m.
Lido di Spina, Remo Brindisi's House Museum's Garden, Via Nicolò Pisano 51
As often happens attending jam sessions, you meet many musicians, other times it happens that some of them, feeling musically soul mates, decide to start a shared project and that's it for Nicola, Tommaso and Fabio. The starting idea was to produce original compositions starting from a jazz language but without this genre's limits. Some months after the trio worked together with Marco Rosso (Trionascosto, Meo-Mixe circus) for his Ferrara's conservatory's degree. From that situation on the band spreaded becoming an electric quartet. Skinny's concert is a journey, a world music mix, jazz but also rock with many nuances; all of this combines listening to rearranged standards, some times even twisted, and original songs with a high rate of improvisation.

Song in the closet - jazz songbook
Thursday 4th August 9.30 p.m.
Lido di Spina, Remo Brindisi's House Museum's Garden, Via Nicolò Pisano 51
The project is born in 2016 (as a classical quartet formation) by Giulia Lorvich's passion in the research about the catalogue, playing jazz tradition's songs not so well-known by mainstream groups, some times even forgotten, passed on by the graet american masters in their workshops or registered on miche disks. The idea behind this project, which presents itself with a new trio aspect characterized by elegant and unusual sounds, is to give new life to this wonderful music material, and at the same time let the passionates know about new jazz tradition's sounds. From "forgotten" topics born by Cole Porter's brillinat pen to gems signed by Miles Davis or Bobby Timmons, this not so known sounds become the excuse for a surprising exploration and re-creation unexpected process by these three musicians, always working for a dialogue imbued with irony and swing.
