- ANDREA PAGANI TRIO
ANDREA PAGANI – PIANO, DANIELE BASIRICO – BASS, MASSIMILIANO DE LUCIA – DRUM;
“SONGS WITHOUT VOICE” is the new project of instrumental music of “Andrea Pagani Trio”, a show that plays original compositions and popular Italian songs arranged in jazz. The outcome of this project is the latest album of the Trio, from the proverbial title “Bravo bravo, but do you have a singer?” (2012), published by the Roman trade mark “Zone di Musica”, whose songs represent a good part of the line-up of the concert, along with other classical music of the Trio.
The elegant and refined soundtrack ranges from ballads to all rage swings, from the Caribbean and the Brazilian rhythms to a funk and soul checks full of 70s’ flavour. All with a personal touch free from traditional schemes, with a bit of irony and the desire to get down to flip or to invent a different ambience to re-interpret without words the enchant of songs.
In repertoire, besides the compositions of Pagani, songs of Battisti, Buscaglione, Rustichelli, Petrolini and other excerpts from the new album of Solo Piano entitled “Petit (and) Suite Pour Philippe”, released on the 2nd of October 2015.
Venue: National Theatre on Friday, Nov 6 at 7pm at 20,000/=
