SHEILA JORDAN quartet
Totally non-derivative, Sheila Jordan guest at the Roma Jazz's Cool jazz festival is one of the very few jazz singers who deserve this appellation and no other term could define her. Born in 1928, Sheila was greatly influenced by Charlie Parker and in general by musicians and soloists rather than singers. The trio that supports her is made up of very young talents from the Roman scene:
Enrico Zanisi, 19, on the piano
Luca Fattorini, 23 years old double bass
Enrico Morello, 23, on drums
A generational meeting in jazz!

He offers a tribute to the great pianist who died in 1999, whose intense and sunny musicality has left a mark on many of us.

ENRICO PIERANUNZI LATIN JAZZ 5tet
Roma Jazz's Cool jazz review. First appointment of the 3 evenings of carte blanche for the great pianist Enrico Pieranunzi, for many years the protagonist of the world jazz scene. Pianist, composer, arranger, he has recorded more than sixty CDs in his name ranging from piano solo to trio, from duo to quintet.
Here he is accompanied by an exceptional line-up of world stature (Flavio Boltro on trumpet, Rosario Giuliani on sax, John Patitucci on bass, Dedé Ceccarelli on drums) to reinterpret the songs from the album "Live at Birdland" published by CAMJazz. An album in which Pieranunzi returns to surprise, suddenly heading towards new and unexplored territories, letting himself be seduced by the South American charm, interpreting Latin music with his own indisputable creativity.

PIERANUNZI/PEREZ DUO
Two giants of the world piano compared in the second appointment at the Roma Jazz's Cool jazz review of the White Paper to Enrico Pieranunzi: a challenge, a match, a 4-handed game, between Mediterranean, Latin and overseas influences. The extraordinary pianist and composer Danilo Perez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his original stamp of pan-American jazz (a mix of music from the Americas, folk and world music) has attracted curious critics and an increasingly large and enthusiastic audience. Danilo's disruptive talent and his enthusiasm make his concerts memorable and inspired.
