All set for After 'a Chiena Jazz. A three-day event from August 26th to 28th with double concerts and workshops as part of the festival created by Antonello Mercurio.
Great anticipation for After 'a Chiena Jazz, a three-day event from 26 to 28 August hosted by the city of Campagna, as part of the XXXV edition of 'A Chiena - an intervention co-financed by POC Campania 2014-2020, urban regeneration, policies for Tourism and Culture, as part of the unitary program of cultural, naturalistic and food and wine tourist itineraries of national and international scope - a festival directed by Antonello Mercurio.
This title, After 'a Chiena Jazz, comes from the “After hours”, the after-midnight hours of swing-era clubs, where, after work, jazzmen improvised for the rest of the night, dialoguing with each other in that language of risk and challenge that is the essence of African-American music, inventing the future.
Five concerts will enliven Piazza Palatucci starting at 21,30:23,30 pm and the cloister of the town hall, for the concert at 27:28 pm and two masterclasses on August XNUMX and XNUMX: the first held by Francesco Buzzurro "Improvisation and arrangement for solo guitar", which will be held in the Sala Gelsomino D'Ambrosio in Palazzo di Città and the second entrusted to Catello Gallotti and Antonello Mercurio about "The composition of the canon", hosted by the Confraternity of the Monte dei Morti Beata Vergine del Carmelo.
The first day of concerts, the 26th, will see Leïla Duclos & Max Barrella gipsy quartet, who will present her album “Fille du feu”, a first opus of original songs where she reveals her musical personality, especially in the virtuosity of her scat. This project of great musical eclecticism, reveals through its different colors, the artistic singularity of the vocalist, a true tightrope walker of the pentagram.
Secondly, Dissonanzen will present “The Adventures of Prince Achmed”, an animated feature film by Lotte Reiniger inspired by a story from “One Thousand and One Nights”, a jazz-flavoured soundtrack, a tribute to the German cinematographic avant-garde of the 27s, with the live soundtrack of one of the first examples of animated cinema. On August 28th the two concerts will feature two exceptional soloists, the guitarist Francesco Buzzurro, who will reinterpret with personal arrangements, the modern tango of Astor Piazzolla, passing through the language of the great Tom Jobim, with his harmonic-rhythmic imagination, and the homage to the great Django Reinhardt, the left hand of the devil, to whom he dedicated his latest album, Solo con Django and Diego Caravano with the project “Del Risuonare”, in which the voice will interact with electronics, between melodies creating an acoustic space for listening and research, between original pages and the gems of the golden age of Neapolitan tradition EA Mario, S. Di Giacomo, then Thom Yorke, Chico Buarque, Sufjan Stevens, up to Pino Daniele, figures of an anthology of seraphic music pieces. The three-day jazz event will close on August XNUMXth by the Marco De Gennaro quartet, a fresh and engaging Latin project.
