Playing standards is not really like playing covers, if you want to discover the difference the two hours of tonight can clarify your ideas. Jazz for us is a music that first of all must graciously reach the ears of the public, inviting it to a dialogue, to enter an atmosphere. Tonight’s concert, and more generally the philosophy of the club, represents a continuous tribute – never a ridiculous imitation to make the verse to … – to the great jazz tradition, to its genres – from swing to hardbop – in company of some of the best musicians of the Italian jazz scene and a selection of the standards and the most beautiful songs extracted from the great songbooks of the 900 of the greatest composers – from Cole Porter to Duke Ellington, from George Gershwin to Irving Berlin.”
