To interpret the music of a pop icon like Madonna in a jazz key may seem a curious paradox, since the electronic sounds and the popular and commercial look of many pieces seem light years away from the acoustic and refined sound of a jazz quartet .
But it is precisely from this unusual combination that a particular synergy arises that makes this project very intriguing.

He is a teacher of jazz singing in the conservatories of La Spezia and Sassari.
Madonna's vast repertoire is approached by Michela Lombardi with intelligence and irony, rediscovering the unusual and unexpected sides of some songs, which reveal, if played in an acoustic version, the happy hand of a team of composers and arrangers who are always very effective, whose compositional talent was sometimes overshadowed by so many clamor around the character played by Veronica Ciccone.
A moving and entertaining concert for a band of musicians with a solid experience behind them and a great desire to play with music and involve the public in this surprising sound journey.
The group had great success at the Jazzaehad Festival in Bremen- Germany 2017 and has performed in numerous festivals and festivals.
