The Italian Ministry of Culture, the Italian Cultural Institute and Accademia Nazionale del Jazz are brining us a taste of the Siena Jazz Festival (which runs for two weeks in Siena each summer). Three good young Italian bands will be on the bill:<\/p>\n
Guglielmo Santimone Trio<\/strong> (Guglielmo Santimone on piano \u2013 that’s him above, Stefano Zambon on double bass, Simone Brilli on drums): post-bop contemporary jazz with a nod to Brazil.<\/p>\n 4Tet<\/strong> (Lorenzo Simoni sax, Guglielmo Santimone piano, Giulio Scianatico double bass, Simone Brilli drums): Santimone and Brill join Simoni\u2019s quartet for a kind of Italian jazz supergroup.<\/p>\n Vittorio Gravagna Rosmarino Trio<\/strong> (Vittorio Gravagna guitar, Stefano Zambon double bass, Giovanni Nardiello drums): tipped for big things — minimalist jazz rock with a Mediterranean feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
