The event

The trio is made up of Gianluca Manfredonia on vibraphone, Alessandro Del Signore on double bass and Alessandro Forte on drums. The focus is on mutual listening, improvisation and careful tone color, in a compact lineup that lets both individual voices and the group sound come through.

The announced program includes «Bag's Groove», «Someday My Prince Will Come», «Sea Journey», «O Grande Amor», «Waltz for a Lovely Wife», «In Your Quiet Place», «Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly», «Question and Answer», «Afro Blue» and «Falling Grace».

These are varied pages of the jazz repertoire filtered through the sound of the vibraphone, with recognizable melodies, shifts of mood and interpretive freedom. For anyone coming to jazz for the first time, the instrument offers an easy way in.

Where it takes place: Elegance Cafè
