BACK TO THE BLUE COAST - ALESSANDRO FLORIO TRIO FT LAURA TAGLIALATELA QUARTET

Taglialatela, one of Italy's finest vocalists who has spent years in New York and Los Angeles, and Florio, a leading guitarist in the Italian and international jazz scene, will explore a repertoire of original pieces and standards from the Broadway canon.

NUDHA- SARA ZACCARELLI QUARTET
The debut album of NUDHA, also known as Sara Zaccarelli, is deeply autobiographical. It provides a personal perspective that resonates with listeners who have experienced similar emotions. In her lyrics, she opens up about her life, revealing her strengths and vulnerabilities, and the emotions that have accompanied her, discussing wounds, love, illness, with energetic undertones and a strong desire for redemption. Sometimes the lyrics were adapted with the help of Giulio Ragno Favero and Yuri Orwell; other times, they were co-written with renowned lyricists such as Davide Toffolo, Francesco Bianconi, and Appino, with whom she released her first single “Traffico”.
