LAST DAY IN PERUGIA

Our last day is filled with Jazz again. We start at lunch time again in Teatro del Pavone with the concert of another rising star, the singer Simona Severini! This (lovely looking) lady performs with her trio and brings us closer to her first solo project the interpretation of french music, mainly based on compositions of the young Gabriel Faure. Lovely to listen, a very nice start in the last dedicated music day of this holidays.

Later that day we saw on top the Allan Harris Quartett - Istanbul friends might remember the CD this singer made together with Kerem Görsev few years ago!!! After the sightseeing tour of today (without words: this breathtaking city is really wonderful ... some of the fotos at the end of this day should give you an idea) we finished the music day with another interesting group: Renato Sellani and Massimo Moriconi. Renato is now not a rising star anymore - this pianist is an institution with his 83 years but showing the power of a twen!! Great swinging piano supported by bass.....

wonderful Renato Sellani

What do we want more. We saw free jazz - rising stars - great stars and legends!!! Perugia we will come again in one of the following years (if anyone wants to join - just let us know).

Finally - before you can see more fotos of Perugia, a little tip for romantic jazz hours: listen to Paolo Fresu/Uri Craine's interpretation of "Si dolce  il tormento" of Claudio Monteverdi !!! What a great song, what a great interpretation!!!!! We love it!
