Archaeology and Jazz on July 7th at 9:00 PM at the Cumae excavations—lower city—an exceptional location for the concert by the New Talent Jazz Orchestra conducted by Mario Corvini. Special guest Stefano di Battista will perform his musical project OUR MONK, inspired by Thelonious Monk. This tribute to the singular American pianist and composer, an eclectic and original artist who represented the bebop scene in New York, chosen as a model and inspiration for his unconventional performance approach. The band's performance will be enhanced by the special appearance of saxophonist Stefano di Battista, known to television audiences for his appearances at several editions of the Sanremo Music Festival with his wife, Nicky Nicolai. The use of new video-mapping technologies completes and enriches the program.
