CLAUDIO VIGNALI Piano Solo

On April 30th, Bergamo Jazz Festival joins the celebration of International Jazz Day with an extraordinary event near the Walls of Bergamo, a UNESCO-protected site that has been promoting International Jazz Day worldwide since 2011. At sunset, pianist Claudio Vignali will accompany the setting sun, letting his improvisational flair flow. This event emphasizes the shared values of jazz and further demonstrates the connection between Bergamo Jazz Festival and its territory.
