The musical events continue in the sites of the Campi Flegrei Archaeological Park with the Pozzuoli Faber Jazz Festival, the Festival Dei Campi Flegrei that combines music, archaeology and Phlegraean culture.
On July 10th at the ancient Terme di Baia it is the turn of the Uneven Quartet jazz quartet by Stefania Tallini, which hosts two famous international musicians: the drummer Greg Hutchinson, considered one of the greatest drummers in the world and the extraordinary clarinetist Gabriele Mirabassi. On the double bass Matteo Bortone.
Stefania Tallini is one of the most appreciated Italian jazz pianists, composers and arrangers, whose original language makes her one of the most interesting and established figures in the international music scene today. With Gabriele Mirabassi, Stefania Tallini has already recorded two albums, one of which is the highly acclaimed Maresìa (Alfa Music, 2008). The group presents a new project based on the pianist's highly original music, with many unreleased songs created for this quartet - UNEVEN - which will soon be released.
This year's Festival, organized by APS Jazz and Conversation, confirms the extraordinary collaboration already started last year, with the Parco Archeologico dei Campi Flegrei, partner of the event, which in addition to making the archaeological sites available to host the concerts, also supports their activities, demonstrating an innovative spirit of management of cultural heritage, of great openness and closeness to citizens.
The event also supports the work of the CASAMORE Foundation, a non-profit solidarity foundation that works with children and young adults affected by genetic and neurodevelopmental diseases. During the events, the Foundation will be present with its information point and fundraiser.
As always, at the end of the concerts, each artist will be given the “Peace Bomb” by Maestro Raffaele Ariante – an artist from Pozzuoli who works in Assisi – as a symbol of the unity and sharing that music always manages to create.
Upcoming events at the sites of the Archaeological Park of the Phlegraean Fields:
On July 22nd at the Flavian Amphitheater in Pozzuoli, a symbolic place of Puteoli Biblical City, the quartet of trombonist Filippo Vignato will be on stage. Alongside him, Giovanni Guidi on piano, Luca Fattorini on double bass and Emanuele Maniscalco on drums.
Vignato, trombonist, composer and arranger born in Thiene (VI) in 1987, began studying trombone at just 10 years old. He has an intense concert activity in Italy and throughout Europe as a “sideman” and as leader of his own artistic projects. Today he is considered one of the most interesting Italian musicians of his generation.
Vignato will also be the protagonist on July 21st of a Workshop, open to musicians and non-musicians, at Palazzo Migliaresi in Rione Terra.
On July 23rd, special conversation with the Sibyl with pianist Giovanni Guidi at the Acropolis of Cuma in front of the Sibyl's Cave.
Giovanni Guidi, a wonderful and accomplished musician, has won various awards including the Top Jazz referendum organized by the magazine Musica Jazz, as best new talent 2007.
He presents himself, in a solo piano, with his new work, dedicated to the great Léo Ferré and entitled Avec Le Temps – one of the most touching songs in the repertoire of the great French singer-songwriter – who will surely be fascinated and particularly inspired by the symbolic place of the Campi Flegrei, that of the Antro Virgiliano, of the Cumaean Sibyl. Giovanni Guidi, therefore, with his music that “aims straight to the heart and hits the mark”.
