SPOTLIGHT ON ITALY at TD Vancouver Coastal Jazz Festival

This year we are delighted to present a magnificent journey into a broad spectrum of Italian music, made possible through the outstanding support of the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and the Italian Cultural Centre.

Two of the groups featured in the Spotlight, MACK & Dadada, were discovered while visiting the exquisite Fano Jazz by the Sea festival in Italy in July of 2018. The festival in Fano featured a program that was so inspiring that we felt compelled to immediately invite these two groups to perform in Vancouver the following year. We have designated Fano Jazz by the Sea as our sister festival in 2019, and are pleased to welcome visiting Artistic Director Adriano Pedini as an honoured guest.

This program celebrates the diversity of musical approaches and practices based in European song forms, classical composition techniques, folk and popular music—as well as straight ahead jazz.

This year, we welcome saxophonist Emanuele Cisi and his quartet; hip hop band MACK; the experimental dadada Trio, featuring pianist Roberto Negro and percussionist Michele Rabbia with French saxophonist Emile Parisien; and the Italian-Canadian collaboration ITACA, featuring saxophonist Nicola Fazzini and bassist Alessandro Fedrigo.
