NEWS**** IMPORTANT****

Making and organising cultural performances while for more than a week the war has been almost at our doorstep, with thousands of people suffering and others having to take up arms instead of musical instruments is not at all easy! One loses the will to go on, one wonders why?

As the founder and artistic director of the festival, I have decided to carry on without looking away, which is why a percentage of the festival's income will go to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. I would love to donate 100% but unfortunately there are supplies and professionals to honour and financial commitments made well before the outbreak of this absurd war that we hope will end soon!

We at the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival believe that organising cultural events is important, especially at times like these, and we cannot and will not ignore helping those in need.

Thanks to those who support the festival, we will publish the amount that will be allocated to aid in Ukraine at the end of the festival.

MOON SOUVENIRS - Julien Gillain (Violin) - Marie Ghitta (Viola) Fil Caporali (Double Bass)

FR - Moon Souvenirs est un trio formé par le contrebassiste et compositeur Fil Caporali pour exprimer une musique qui s’inspire autant de Bach que de Coltrane, en passant par Steve Reich et Tom Jobim à travers des pièces composées/improvisées, où passé et présent sont mêlé et nuageux, mais émotionnellement vif comme un lointain souvenir.

ITA - Moon Souvenirs è un trio formato dal bassista e compositore Fil Caporali per esprimere una musica che si ispira tanto a Bach quanto a Coltrane, passando per Steve Reich e Tom Jobim attraverso brani composti/improvvisati, dove passato e presente sono mescolati e velati, ma emotivamente vividi come un ricordo lontano.

ENG - Moon Souvenirs is a trio brought together by the double bass player and composer Fil Caporali as a mean to express through composed/improvised pieces a music that draws from Bach to Coltrane, passing by Steve Reich and Tom Jobim, where past and present are mingled and cloudy, but emotionally vivid like an old memory.

FR - Composée de trois mouvements plus une ouverture et entièrement basée sur les règles de Dante, la Dante Alighieri Jazz Suite est une transcription contemporaine en musique, pour quatuor de jazz et quatuor à cordes, du voyage du poète à travers les trois mondes : Inferno, Purgatorio et Paradiso par le compositeur et musicien de jazz Angelo Gregorio. Des textures sonores intenses cousues ensemble pour obtenir un vêtement qui, selon le compositeur, convient parfaitement à un tel voyage dans les mondes de Dante mais aussi dans différentes racines musicales : blues, jazz, contrepoint classique et madrigaux.
