SHOW 1:
Angelica Matveeva Vocalese, Angelica is a jazz singer, composer and lyricist whose artistic goal is creating concept projects. With a characteristic vocal sound, a powerful and emotionally moving story-telling ability, and an always elegant stage presence, Angelica Matveeva has performed at over 85 shows in Sweden, Finland, Italy, Poland and Germany. Her third album "Vocalese" has been released in January 2015. Vocalese is "the killer-subgenre" in jazz, where the singer interprets originally instrumental improvisations with lyrics and which represents the ultimate technical and artistic challenge for jazz singers. Angelica interprets not only existing vocalese pieces built on improvisations by Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, James Moody, John Handy III, but also many completely new ones for which she wrote her own lyrics to improvisations by such jazz icons as Freddie Hubbard, Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter, Franco Ambrosetti, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, and Peter Asplund. Virtually all pieces have modern hip-hop influenced arrangements.

SHOW 2:
The Fabio Giachino Trio is one of the most prominent younger generation jazz piano trios in Italy today. Their unmistakably recognizable adventurous modern sound full of rhythmic and harmonic experimentation and incursions into RnB and hip hop is delivered primarily through original compositions as well as some imaginatively re-arranged standards, and their performances are highly energetic and attention-grabbing. The trio has been together since 2011 and has played approximately 140 shows in France, Switzerland, UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, Romania, Canada and all over Italy. Their third album "Blazar" has been released in February 2015.
