Frank Zappa and Ennio Morricone are two of the 20th century's most important and undefinable composers. Two icons!
While a cursory glance might not show their similarities, a deeper investigation into the work of these two boundary-pushers reveals incredible similarities in their approach toward and openness to improvisation, experimentation, and synthesizing popular music of the 60s/70s with their own 20th century classical & avant-garde influences....

As a result, Zappa and Morricone are united, not only by their prodigious output and expansive stylistic exploration, but by their attitude, open-mindedness, and commitment to furthering the language of music.
Join us for a deep dive in the world of zappICONe with Tredici Bacci.
TREDICI BACCI
Founded in 2013 and led by composer Simon Hanes, New York-based large ensemble Tredici Bacci performs outrageous, joyous, and cinematic music. Over the past ten years, the ensemble has become known for their Italian soundtrack-inspired style, playing raucous shows in bars, galleries, and concert halls and leaving a trail of Campari bottles, confetti, and whipped cream in their wake. Their current music takes inspiration in the explosive sounds of artists like Frank Zappa, probing innermost emotions to craft boisterous pieces. But no matter where the music goes, Tredici Bacci is a communityโa close-knit group of artists who traverse it all together.
RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO
From Francis Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, from Toni Morrison to James Baldwin, from Philip Michael Ondaatje to Geoff Dyer, from Julio Cortazar to Boris Vian, from Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed to Jayne Cortez, the list of international writers and poets inspired or intrigued by jazz and other musical genres goes on. Since New York Cityโs Rizzoli Bookstore has a long tradition of building bridges between arts genres, international scenes, and creative people, we wanted to turn our gorgeous space in NoMad into an experimental living room where live jazz and other music can be enjoyed. The Rizzoli Music Aperitivo is sponsored by Field Blend Selections and is curated by Mondo Jazz, the weekly Radio Free Brooklyn show dedicated to international jazz
MONDO JAZZ
Mondo Jazz is a weekly program on Radio Free Brooklyn dedicated to the proposition that jazz is an international language. It is hosted every Wednesday night from 10 PM to midnight and Thursday morning from 8 to 10 AM, by Ludovico Granvassu, the founder and editor in chief of All About Jazz Italia.
FIELD BLEND SELECTIONS
Founded in January 2017, Field Blend Selections is a new wine importing and distribution company based in New York City, serving the New York and New Jersey markets.
In both name and practice, Field Blend Selections celebrates agricultural traditions and diversity. The name is an homage to the nineteenth-century immigrants who co-planted an assortment of grape varieties in vineyards throughout the United States, many of which survive today. Alongside their vines, they often co-planted other crops, including fruits, grains, and legumes. This approach of co-mingling various plantings to achieve balance in the vineyards is now referred to as polyculture, and it is widely recognized as one of the best methods for naturally enriching soils and reducing disease. Polyculture, by replicating natureโs diverse ecosystems, produces healthier fruit without the necessity of artificial herbicides or pesticides.
