The historical orchestra conducted by Marcello Tonolo had the merit of putting together some of the most significant Italian contemporary jazz musicians, some at that time very young like Alberto Vianello, Michele Polga, Nicola Fazzini, Riccardo Chiarion, Matteo Alfonso, Marco Privato, Luca Colussi, others already experts like Ilic Fenzi, Maurizio Scomparin, Toni Costantini, Beppe Calamosca, Roberto Rossi e Marc Abrams. «Note sui Sillabari» is a work that unites in a precious way the notes and words and that we are sure will thrill you from the first listening.
