Francesco Bearzatti saxo · Federico Casagrande guitar · Jens Duppe drums
Francesco Bearzatti‘s new trio brings together three titans of the contemporary European jazz scene, creating a powerhouse ensemble that balances raw energy with sophisticated storytelling.
Led by the eclectic and visionary Francesco Bearzatti on saxophone, the group features the refined, atmospheric guitar work of Federico Casagrande and the inventive, propulsive drumming of Jens Duppe. Together, they navigate a sonic landscape where Italian lyricism meets international avant-garde sensibilities.
The band’s repertoire is a masterclass in versatility, seamlessly blending tradition with modern exploration: The trio breathes new life into the jazz standards, deconstructing classic melodies with bold improvisations and unexpected rhythmic twists. A core focus of the project is their original material—cinematic, edgy, and deeply evocative pieces that showcase the unique musical identity of each member.
Expect a high-wire act of collective improvisation, where the absence of a bass player opens up vast harmonic spaces for the guitar and sax to intertwine.
From fiery, high-octane uptempo tracks to intimate, minimalist ballads, this trio promises a performance that is as unpredictable as it is technically brilliant.
