Flowers is not just a jazz concert, it's a blooming encounter between sound and light. The trio is joined by a fourth, unconventional instrument: the videomapping projections by Filippo Gregoretti, illuminating the Grand Loggia of Villa d’Este and transforming the music into an immersive visual journey.
Like petals unfolding in harmony, the performance blends standards and original compositions with modern sonorities rooted in jazz tradition. Each piece becomes a sensorial bloom, where music and imagery grow together, shaping a vibrant, multisensory landscape.
The ensemble features Francesco Nastro on piano, Flavio Bertipaglia on double bass, and Antonio Del Sordo on drums — three musicians whose expressive dialogue is enriched by the poetic rhythm of moving images.
With Flowers, sound takes shape, and vision finds melody — a delicate, powerful celebration of beauty, improvisation, and transformation.
