Jazz à Sorrente

Sorrento is preparing to celebrate the flavors and colors of its land with an event that has become an appointment awaited by many for the great music and the beautiful location. The LEMON JAZZ FESTIVAL 2018, for its second edition, offers a program as fresh as lemon thanks to the international names that will perform in one of the most suggestive frames of the coastal city, the neoclassical Villa Fiorentino.
It opens on July 21st with the band of STANLEY CLARKE; the American bassist is supported by a highly sought-after group of prodigious musicians who combine their virtuosity with a style that is now historical and inimitable, in which fusion, funk and improvisation merge. Four times winner of the Grammy Awards, Clarke remains one of the most influential and admired musicians from the seventies to today.
Following the appointment of 22 July with the quintet of ROY HARGROVE; the Texan trumpeter (also winner of two Grammy Awards) is considered a sort of heir to Miles Davis. His well-tested line up is getting a well-deserved public consensus and excellent feedback from the specialized critic.
July 27th is the turn of the band of over Atlantic YELLOWJACKETS, historical group active since the early 80 '. The two founding members, Russell Ferrante and Will Kennedy, are joined by the saxophonist Bob Mintzer and the talented Australian bassist Dane Anderson.
On July 28th GEGÈ TELESFORO will perform and his project Fun Slow Ride. Singer, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, but also journalist, entertainer, author and radio and television presenter. Gege Telesforo has always been a versatile artist, and above all a refined vocalist.
It closes on July 29 with typically jazz / rock / progressive sounds. With over fifteen years of intense live activity, the TRIO BOBO, has now acquired a very solid interplay. Faso and Christian Meyer, rhythmic bones of Elio and Le Storie Tese, meet guitarist Alessio Menconi.
In addition to music, also pictorial art and tastings of local products where the taste and beauty of lemon reigns. The Lemon Jazz Festival is organized by the Municipality of Sorrento with the artistic direction of Mario Mormone.
