Directed by M° Antonio Solimene

Young, light, dynamic, modular, energetic! These, the main characteristics of the Saint Louis Combo, one of the most talented, exciting and spectacular groups spread from the “talent factories” of Saint Louis itself. All the energy of a Big Band in a pocket-sized format.

At present the instrumental Combo, always ready to adapt to new collaborations, is working in close connection with the Saint Louis Voices section, to propose to the audience a repertoire in which the jazz brass meets the innovative vocal arrangements of this 6 voices ensemble in which the voice itself becomes instrument.

The repertoire itself is a special one, since, drawing inspiration from some of the best-known jazz standard, it refreshes and gets contaminated thanks to the arrangements especially created by the students of the Saint Louis composition and arrangement course. And in this creative ferment, some space is also reserved to original compositions always created by young musicians. For a young music performance, performed by young people.

Antonio Solimene is Head of the Jazz Arrangement and Ear Training courses in Saint Louis College fo Music. Alongside his didactic activity, he is orchestra Director inside and outside the Institute. Since 2008, he directs all Saint Louis Orchestras (Big Band, Combo, Little and Medium Combo). Since 1993 he directs the Tribunal Mist Jazz Band with which he performed in many prestigious events both in Itlay and all over the world. He directed the rhythmic-symphonic Mediaset Orchestra (National TV Broadcast stations) for Sony Music. He also directed the Bulgarian Orchestra. He recorded many CDs both as pianist and as orchestra Director, and collaborated with many musicians such as Stephane Grappelli, Lew Soloff, Gorge Masso, Maxime Saury, Paolo Fresu, Lucio Dalla, Stefano Bollani, Rosario Giuliani, Javier Girotto.

Giovanni Candia – guitar
Fabrizio Cucco – bass
Matteo Bultrini – drums

The three musicians come from similar study paths concerning the jazz language and tradition. With this trio, they explore a repertoire ranging from traditional jazz to original compositions and some reworkings of pop songs. Moving away from the classic jazz guitar trio, they are looking for a peculiar sound, based on the development of the harmonic possibilities of the guitar.

Giovanni Candia is a jazz guitar player, composer and teacher. Over the years he has played in several bands, also outside jazz music. He is particularly fascinated by the relationship between tradition and innovation and the influence of postmodernism on jazz. This interest has accompanied him during the course of study for the Bachelor and the Master in Communication Science, and the topic “crossover in contemporary jazz” became the object of investigation for his bachelor degree in jazz guitar. Currently he is working on an original repertoire arranged for trio and quartet.

Fabrizio Cucco studied electric bass in Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, attaining a first class honours diploma. Though very young he already played with well-known Italian musicians such as Maurizio Giammarco, Bernardo Lanzetti (PFM ’75-’79), Rosario Giuliani, Greg, Joey Garrison, Piero Fabrizi (producer and guitar player for Fiorella Mannoia), Pietro Cantarelli (Mannoia, Fossati, Bersani).

Matteo Bultrini, born in Rome in 1991, he starts his drums studies being only 8 years old. He then continues studying in Saint Louis College of Music, under the guidance of the well-know Italian drummer Claudio Mastracci. At the same time he studies in the Santa Cecilia Conservatoire, studying with the world famous Roberto Gatto. During the last two years he has also been studying with Greg Hutchinson.

Mario Nappi – piano
Corrado Cirillo – double bass
Luca Mignano – drums

A young trio, of fresh perception, with improvisation geometries drawing from the Afro-American jazz, bringing it back to nowadays with a certain spontaneity and maturity. The final result is a continuous syncretism among the Afro-American one, the Neapolitan one and modernity, with an interplay and a trio breath in its totality as a unique human being. The compositions are marked by a late-romantic vein, witnessing the European matrix common to the three young musicians belonging to the national jazz panorama. A wind of freshness and new sounds.

Bipolary Jazz Duo
BIPOLARY JAZZ DUO

Biancamaria Scoccia – vocals
Alessandro Donadei – guitar

Physics teaches us that two opposite poles attract each other, and just like two magnets Alessandro Donadei and Biancamaria Scoccia meet in their shared love for music to give life to Bipolary Jazz duo. Bianca’s coarse and powerful interpretation melts with Alessandro’s flawless technique and sound accuracy, thus creating unique textures catching the listener in a hypnotic magnetism. They find expression in the jazz standard tradition, experimenting with original arrangements leaving large room to improvisation.

During its European tour inside the Italian Jazz on the Road festival, the duo will propose modern and refined arrangements of jazz standards, also thanks to the support of loop station, voice effects and Ableton Live.

Biancamaria Scoccia was born in L’Aquila in 1993. She shows an interest for music in her early ages, starting to study piano and music theory at the age of 8. Four years later she commits herself to vocal studies, joining a small musical company. After small professional experiences in her home town, ranging from rock to blues, she comes closer to the jazz world thanks to the attendance of some summer workshops. She starts her jazz vocals studies in Saint Louis College of Music at 17, under guidance of the singers, composers and educators Federica Zammarchi, Susanna Stivali and Elisabetta Antonini. Her jazz passion grows and she starts to understand its complex language, studying at the same time harmony, solfeggio, improvisation and arrangement, At present, she is preparing for the final year and completion of her 1st cycle academic diploma in jazz vocals.

Alessandro Donadei was born in Bari in 1990. Grown up in a family surrounding connected to the art world, he approaches to music very young. At 6 he starts his classic guitar studies. Then he gets closer to the rock/blues world, becoming interested in the virtuous “shredders” such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. These are also the years of his first live, professional experiences in Southern Italy with local bands. After the secondary school he enrols in Saint Louis College of Music to enlarge his music language through the jazz studies under guidance of the guitar players Umberto Fiorentino and Nico Stufano. At present he is in his second 1st cycle Academic year of jazz guitar studies.

Laura Lala – vocals
Sade Mangiaracina – piano

Lala & Sade is an intimate, cosy, but powerful project, which nurtures itself of the shared passion of the two Sicilian artists for jazz and improvisation on one side and “songs” on the other.

Together they gave life to two albums already, “Pure Songs” and “Anche le Briciole hanno un sapore…” (Crumbs, too, can be tasty…) both warmly acclaimed at Italian level by audience and reviews.

In their European Tour they will be presenting a repertoire entirely made up by their original compositions. They will share their stories, their little worlds, their “crumbs”, either in Italian, in English or in Sicilian, directly whispering in music to those who will be able to open their ears and hearts.

Laura Lala studied jazz vocals with Maria Pia De Vito at the Brass Group in Palermo, her home town, where she was born and bred. In the same school she studied jazz piano and ensemble classes with Salvatore Bonafede. In 2005 she graduated with honours at the DAMS (Arts and Music Faculty) of Palermo, writing a thesis under guidance of the musicologist Marcello Piras, for whom she later worked as assistant. She then moved to Rome and studied with Cinzia Spata in Saint Louis College of Music to perfect her jazz knowledge. She attended several specialization workshops, studying with Norma Winstone, Mark Murohy, Kathleen Perry, Susanne Abbhuel, Sheila Jordan, Bob Stoloff.

Sade Mangiaracina was born in Trapani, Sicily. She started studying classical piano at the age of 7. From 9 to 18 yearsold she participated in several national and international classical music competitions, always achieving outstanding results. After the secondary school, she moved to Rome to accomplish her jazz studies, obtaining an honour diplome in the Percentomusica school. Lately she performed with many well-known Italian pop and jazz artists, such as Simona Molinari and Fabrizio Bosso often playing in France (Paris, Marciac jazz festival, St Germain des Pres), opening Dionne Warwick’s Italian tour, and playing in the most prestigious European festivals, theatres and clubs.

A-Trio was born in 2012 from a natural, spontaneous friendship, being the meeting of three young musicians sharing the same passion for all kind of music, but for jazz in particular.
This heartfelt love is clear in their composition, where simple melodies and rhythmic energy combine, winking to contemporary music genres.
The trio took part in several competitions and national festivals and in September 2015 recorded their first live EP in Auditorium Parco della Musica di Roma, featuring Javier Girotto and Rosario Giuliani as special guests.
Along with their original compositions their repertoire ranges from reinterpretations of famous songs and jazz standards in a modern key.

Dario Giacovelli was born in Southern Italy in 1990. He starts studying electric bass in 2003. In 2008 he moves to Rome where he starts a music study path in Saint Louis College of Music, which allows him to get to know better various genres among which funk, jazz, soul, pop, r&b, Latin, electronics, Mediterranean music, experiencing playing in Orchestras, as well as accompanying gospel and jazz choirs. In 2014 he starts studying double bass. He also attended several national jazz specialization workshops, awarded with scholarships and prizes in both Umbria Jazz and Fara Sabina Fest. At present he is very active on the national jazz scene performing with the trio in clubs and festivals, but also collaborating with well-known jazz and pop artists.

Gianluca Massetti, born in 1990, started his music studies at the age of 7 and started playing in front of audiences very soon, immediately starting to compose his own tunes and getting closer to modern song-writing. During the years he acquired a multi-stylistic formation thanks to his studies in Saint Louis College of Music, approaching music styles as jazz, Latin, pop, rock, blues, gospel, funk, fusion, soul and Big Band music actively rehearsing and performing inside the resident orchestra. He was awarded with many scholarships. He recorded for the RAI (Italian National tv broadcast) and collaborated with main pop national artists touring with them throughout Italy and Europe.

Moreno Maugliani was born in 1985. He started studying in Saint Louis at the age of 22, following a multi-stylistic path at first, to then specialize and achieving his final degree in Jazz Drums and Percussions. He works as recording and live session drummer with Italian famous Pop artists. In the jazz context he is very active with the A-trio, with which is developing an original music project that is obtaining wide consent in festivals and competitions.
