The "Jazz & Baccalà" festival brings another burst of irreverent notes and bold flavors to the stage, following fiery performances by artists like Nicole Zuraitis, Jany McPherson, and Sergio Caputo.

Now, the eleventh edition is moving towards an off-stage event at the Teatro Acacia (via Raffaele Tarantino 1), where on Wednesday 7 May Joe Barbieri will take to the stage to unleash his hits and songs from his new album "Big Bang", his seventh of unreleased songs and twelfth studio album – a true musical bomb that mixes stars and feelings in a mix that could make your head spin.

Joe Barbieri Between Astronomy and Feelings

Barbieri's album "Big Bang" revolves around his long-standing obsession with astronomy, exploring how the infinitely large merges with the infinitely small.

“In the early 2000s” Joe says, “I wrote a song that later became the name of my independent label, with which I continue to publish: 'Microcosmo'. In that choice there was already the perception that, to borrow Kant's words, the starry sky above us is somehow intimately connected to the constellation of feelings that we carry inside us. 'Big Bang' is the story, developed through ten new songs, of this belief. But not only that. The sky has always taught me that everything is in motion, that nothing, despite appearances, is ever still. So, in 'Big Bang' I wanted to follow that spark capable of giving life to a new beginning, abandoning myself to a writing and a sound with a different touch, while maintaining my style. The result is that this album seems to me the most liberating I've ever made: a bright album, to sing... even to dance to, to listen to with your eyes closed, but with which you can travel with your eyes wide open.”** This album is not just music, but an explosion of emotions that invites you to dance wildly, regardless of those who prefer more sober jazz.

Alan Harris Closes Out in Style

Closing the festival on Friday, May 16th, is Alan Harris, the New York crooner who embodies vocal jazz in all its raw glory, heir to a tradition that has produced true giants. Raised in Brooklyn, Harlem, and Pittsburgh, with a background blending jazz and country, Harris boasts awards such as the Downbeat critics' poll for "Rising Star Jazz Vocalist" and three New York Nightlife Awards for "Outstanding Jazz Vocalist"—a career that establishes him as the undisputed king of a genre that allows no half-measures.

The Explosive Mix of Music and Food

Since its inception, "Jazz & Baccalà" has made waves with its format that combines music and food in a mind-blowing sensory experience. Each show features traditional Neapolitan dishes and innovative recipes featuring baccalà—that boldly traditional fish prepared by local chefs—served by discreet waiters while jazzy tunes fill the air, creating a delicious chaos that foodies will never forget.

The jazz and cod festival looks very interesting because it combines music and food. Even though I'm not a big jazz fan, I like Neapolitan dishes. It will be a nice experience to try, maybe I'll go.
