Ossola in Jazz

SATURDAY 6 SEPTEMBER AT 4:00 PM

LIGHTNESS

Tino Tracanna sax
Simone Locarni piano
Paolo Pasqualin drums

In Calvino’s stories, lightness does not mean superficiality, but an ability to lift oneself from the heaviness of the world. Jazz embodies lightness through its ability to transform the weight of the musical structure into something fluid and dynamic.

EXACTITUDE

Lorenzo Blardone piano
Roberto Mattei bass
Massimiliano Salina drums

Even though jazz seems free, it is actually governed by a strong discipline and precision. The use of standards, scales and harmonic progressions is an example of how each note is carefully chosen, reflecting Calvino’s search for the perfect word and the rigorous construction of the narrative.

QUICKNESS

Jazz improvisation is an instant reaction to harmonic and rhythmic variations, building musical phrases that maintain coherence and beauty. Speed ​​is not only technical, but also mental, exactly as in Calvino’s writing, where the rhythm of the narration reaches brilliant peaks.

SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER AT 4:00 PM

VISIBILITY

Fabrizio Spadea guitar
Roberto Olzer piano
Ashti Abdo multi-instrumentalist and singer

Calvino talks about vivid mental images, and the same happens in jazz and its ability to evoke scenarios, emotions and complex sound narratives that the listener can almost “see”.

MULTIPLICITY

Sonia Spinello voice
Ashti Abdo multi-instrumentalist and voice
Eugenia Canale piano

Jazz is an open and interconnected language, just like Calvino’s narrative, which combines different plots, voices and dimensions to build broader meanings.

Final aperitif after each show featuring Ossola products.

In collaboration with Fondazione Canova for the Ghesc_Lab luoghi da rigenerare project by Fondazione Cariplo.
