Program
The XVI ed. The Gaeta Jazz Festival plans a first preview for Friday, June 28 at the first access to Lido Ariana, on a small limestone beach located around a green hill, at the end of the white night, before the transparent waters of the Gaeta Sea. Yes, he will do it in concert with the singer and producer of Nigerian origin, discovered in Berlin, Wayne Snow. Eccentric user, icon of taste and the most subtle voice in circulation, Wayne Snow moves between Afrofuturism, nu-soul and alt-pop, in an ending impossible to resist the vibrations of the sun of his homeland . origin and jazz. more damaged rice. Wayne Snow’s live performance presents the songs of Venezuelan artist Alejandra Arzola in a DJ set where Latin jazz is extinguished with Afro-funk between the music of the advance and the association with the complicated choices of the Piedmontese producer and composer Andrea. Passenger of the Jazz team:Re:Found. Il Festival officially began on July 10 in the Auditorium of the church dedicated to Saint Lucia, in the medieval center of Gaeta, with the concert of Siner, an organization composed of 3 politicized eclectic instruments , from the top productive talents of the Italian jazz scene: Ludovica Manzo (vocals and electronics), Matteo Bortone (bass and electronics) and Giulio Stermieri (gusto and synthesizer). In a maximally productive balance between drone music, a minimum of electronics and fresh jazz, Siner saranno is the protagonist of a strongly animated show through nature and aquatic elements, a maximally productive opening rite of the event. Due to the concerts in the middle of the festival, I dedicated 11 days to La Favorita Battery, a splendid 16th century fortified bastion with an exceptional view, if the city is old, of the entire Gulf of Gaeta. Partly with an intimate and moving jazz, influenced by the most indie and electronic sound and also by Iranian popular music, from the duo composed of Ava Alami (vocals) and Vittorio Esposito (piano and synthesizer). If you continue with the live performance of the Festival’s drummer, composer and director Valentina Magaletti, if you examine with her more external education, gli Holy Tongue, the NATO task of meeting with the exceptional talent of cusionists, young people of his birth and the Londoners of his adolescence, with producer Al Wotton and bassist Susumu Mukai. Holy Tongue’s sound is a natural anarchic fury, fueled by the spiritualism of the Matrix Dub and ensuring post-punk excesses. For the post-show we had the opportunity to speak very well about Radio Bottega, the local Gaeta that attended the performance of the Neapolitan beatmaker Breakstarr. Gaeta Jazz Festival 2024, in some other suggestive setting, under the walls of the chapel of the Sanctuary of Montagna Spaccata: the Gardens of Serapo, also known as the Gardens of the Bastions of Carlo V. Protagonist of the Neapolitan pianist, manufacturer and composer Bassolino, fresh from the good fortune of the album Città Futura, an authentic jazz-funk game layered with political and cinematographic inspiration, and Quiroga, nickname of DJ Walter Del Vecchio. The project was born from a wonderful love for Brazilian music, funk and jazz and takes the call from François Truffaut’s character, Antoine Doinel. Loro’s sound is an adventure between boogie, hip hop strategist and ambient landscape. Bassolino’s cinematic sound also found resonance in the continuation of the live performance, that of the prolific drummer Tommaso Cappellato with the commission Collettivo Immaginario, who had wonderful luck in the United States and was asked to publish the new album for the fall of 2024. Black Music, Latin jazz The opening program creates an internal sound orizzonte of the scorgere riverberi of Hermeto Pascoal and Azymuth, Herbie Hancock and Piero Piccioni. Then, one of the Festival’s headliners, highlighted by general critics, comes on stage: Mr. Theo Croker. Like the wonderful jazzer Doc Cheatham, “scoconsistent with” Dee Dee Bridgewater, Crocker is a composer and trumpeter of rare elegance, a figure of the new foreign scene who absolutely innovates among the jazz public thanks to his cosmic and psychedelic sound. . For the after-show, we invited neighbor Villetta di Serapo to a set via a local DJ who opened the lucky live set of the historic producer Luca Trevisi, also known as Ltj Xconsistent withence, for jazz and house. The next day, Friday the 13th, he went to the gardens of Serapo in search of some other density and eterogenesis. He first tried, at one point, to be Alsogood, musician and producer, among the new Italian artists who shared years of intersessions in jazz, hip-hop and electronics with foreign collaborations and their activity. Electronic, classical and jazz are the legacy of the talented Roman pianist Maria Chiara Argirò, who, moved to London, has recently become a true reference point on the British jazz scene. Her dreamlike and expansive sound, with echoes of Jon Hopkins and Radiohead, celebrates the ambient jazz most sought after in clubs. At the Gaeta Jazz Festival she presents compositions from her new album Prossima Uscita. Subito dopo spazio another of the Festival’s headliners, the American drummer, producer and MC Kassa Overall, a flexible musician who takes the encounter between jazz and hip-hop to new dimensions, a natural avant-garde. Gaeta performs as a quartet in one of the most celebrated concerts of this edition. After the show, back in Villetta, he signed the local commission Tiella Sound which featured the performance of Lefto Early Bird, a legendary Belgian producer who crosses the edges of hip hop and R&B, futuristic Afro-jazz and Turkish folk, who literally consistent with the culture. from all over Europe, first and foremost Gilles Peterson. I overcame Lefto Early Bird’s impazziti if I attended the first soft of dawn on Saturday, July 14 with Greg Burk’s magnetic solo piano concert, which will soon delight the festival audience on the seafront terrace of La Favorita bateria, online with the only user flying in the Gulf of Gaeta. Burk, an American musician who has been living in Italy for years, needs a long career of collaborations with some of the biggest names in Italian and world jazz. Dopo a giornata da trascorrere in spiaaggia, al tranto ci si unfashionablevamente ai Giardini di Serapo consistent with the live of Coca Puma, an eclectic artist with training in nu-jazz who, like a kind of urban fairy, illuminates the entire genre she traverses, from From dream pop to post-rock and nu-soul atmosphere. An authentic explosion of equatorial groove will occur in the live performance of Parbleu, commissioned by Andrés Balbucea and Andrea De Fazio with an enigmatic multicultural ensemble, in which cumbia confronts psychedelia, there the old-fashioned taste of timbre French moves away from the Array dub disk. and afrobeat. trumpeter and composer Emma Jean Thackray.
