A jazz supergroup in the presence of the Pale di San Martino reinterprets the songs of Luigi Tenco.
Special project: Far away, far away
The songs of Luigi Tenco, filled with melancholy, love, and silent courage, have left an indelible mark on the landscape of Italian music. They are songs that continue to speak to us and give voice to our anxieties, impervious to trends, changes in the audience, and technological evolution since that tragic January 27, 1967, when Tenco, returning from an evening at the Sanremo Festival, said farewell to life.
Those songs will return in the Giardino di Willa Welsperg, a splendid noble residence built in 1853, now the home of the Parco Paneveggio Pale di San Martino. Reinterpreting them, with love, delicacy, and intensity, Doctor 3, a trio formed in 1997 during the recording of their first album, The Tales of Doctor 3, which was judged the best Italian album of the year by Musica Jazz magazine (which has awarded the same recognition to the group two more times). An ensemble with a cross-sectional approach, as befits I Suoni delle Dolomiti, which unites true jazz with pop and singer-songwriter sensitivity.
Danilo Rea, born in Vicenza, adopted by Rome, has made the piano his voice and improvisation his natural language. After graduating from the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, he has shared the stage with jazz giants like Chet Baker, John Scofield, and Brad Mehldau, while also engaging in dialogue with the great Italian song, from Mina to Gino Paoli, from Fiorella Mannoia to Claudio Baglioni, and collaborating with film and theater, from Carlo Verdone to Valerio Mastandrea.
On double bass, we have Enzo Pietropaoli, from Rome, who has played with Rea and Roberto Gatto since 1975, in the Trio di Roma. Also, in his career spanning over forty years, he has played with the greatest, from Lester Bowie to Lee Konitz, from Enrico Rava to Pat Metheny.
Finally, on drums, Fabrizio Sferra, another instrumentalist of international caliber, in the jazz scene since childhood, founder in the early 80s with Pietropaoli and Enrico Pieranuzzi of the Space Jazz Trio, and subsequently alongside others like Chet Baker, Kenny Wheeler, and Paul Bley. A supergroup, in short, for an unforgettable evening, dedicated to the great Italian song.
