The official description

Tribute to Benny Goodman in Rome: the Goodmen Trio jazz concert.

The Goodmen Trio's tribute to Benny Goodman in Rome comes to Elegance Cafè Jazz Club on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 21:30. An evening of live jazz dedicated to the swing of the 1930s, with Michele Villari on clarinet, Emanuele Rizzo on piano and Andrea Bonioli on drums. The trio reinterprets the repertoire linked to Goodman through a dialogue between melody, rhythm and arrangements with a contemporary edge.

You can pair the concert with a drink or choose the dinner and live music package. On stage, clarinet, piano and drums build an essential, dynamic sound. The absence of the double bass leaves room for continuous interaction: each instrument contributes to the balance of the trio, alternating support, melodic flights and rhythmic answers. Drink + concert package: €25.

Dinner + concert package: two à la carte courses, variable cost. Dinner from 19:00, concert at 21:30.
