The event

The project belongs to guitarist and singer Filippo A. Delogu, who with Oliver Von Essen on piano and Light Palone on double bass recreates the lean sound of Cole's celebrated trio. There is no drummer: the rhythm comes from the direct interplay of the instruments, and the voice stays at the center without overpowering the group.

The repertoire centers on the great American standards tied to the singer and pianist. Among the songs that built his reputation are «Smile», «When I Fall in Love» and «Stardust».

Delogu is a guitarist and tenor banjo player who specializes in classic jazz and the swing of the 1930s and 1940s. He has performed at Umbria Jazz, Summer Jamboree and the Roma Jazz Festival and founded the project The Jazz Russell.
