Bagni di Lucca’s Spring Jazz concert organised by the Michel de Montaigne foundation is part of April’s International Jazz month sponsored by UNESCO.

This year’s jazz concert was as good as ever and concentrated on Brazilian music especially pieces by Jobim whose Ipanema girl has to be one of the best –known songs around (it wasn’t played in BDL’s concert), De Hollanda, Bosco, Djavan, Caymmi and Pixinguiha among others.

Elisa Mini has just the right voice timbre and delivers this repertoire with infectious élan. Her backing group (Andrea Garibaldi, piano, Nino Pellegrini double-bass and Marco Simoncini, percussion) was equally superb.

It was a truly enjoyable evening and is an essential part of our commune’s annual list of essential events to follow. The concert, incidentally, was very well publicised and there’s also my post on it at:
