They were the leading figures in the 1930s behind the birth and spread of jazz manouche\, one of the most original encounters between European musical tradition and American jazz. \nJazz standards are reinterpreted through a highly distinctive line-up and musical language: without drums\, with the guitar sustaining the rhythm through the characteristic la pompe technique\, and with the violin and voice taking center stage in improvisation and musical dialogue. A warm\, driving\, and instantly recognizable sound\, capable of alternating refined swing atmospheres with moments of high energy. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1787917725601{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\nAfter living in Paris for thirty years\, Sara Longo has breathed and actively lived the French jazz scene\, performing at major festivals dedicated to jazz manouche. Upon returning to Venice\, she met guitarist Lino Brotto and violinist Mattia Martorano\, and together with double bassist Alvise Seggi\, they brought this project to life. \nThe quartet offers a personal reinterpretation of the gypsy jazz style\, where faithfulness to tradition leaves room for the freedom of improvisation\, interplay\, and a contagious musical irony. The result is a dynamic and engaging concert\, suspended between 1930s Paris\, American swing\, and contemporary musical sensibility. \nMusic to listen to\, to experience\, and—why not—to dance to. \nhttps://www.saralongosings.com/ \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1765881108566{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\n\nAdmission subject to availability.

SUMMARY:FRANCESCA BERTAZZO HART: tribute to Emily Dickinson
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788354169967{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}” el_class=”thebandits”] \n\nFrancesca Bertazzo Hart\nvocals\nFrancesco Carta\npiano\nGiovanna Denaro\nvocals and ballet\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788354602875{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\nFor the fourth event of the  Women For Freedom in Jazz festival\, on Wednesday\, September 9 at 7 PM\, another undisputed talent of international jazz\, Francesca Bertazzo Hart\, will perform at Hotel Aquarius in Venice with a musical project inspired by Emily Dickinson—a journey into the inner universe of one of the most mysterious voices in American literature through music\, words\, and dance.\nJoining Francesca on stage are musician Francesco Carta\, producer of the show\, and narrator (as well as dancer) Giovanna Denaro. Giovanna’s narration guides the audience through the pivotal stages of Emily’s life and poetry: childhood\, the discovery of writing\, her friendship with Susan Gilbert\, her love for words and silence\, and her voluntary withdrawal from the world. In the finale\, the narrator’s body transforms through dance\, becoming pure visual poetry.\nOriginal songs and vocal improvisations by Francesca\, accompanied by guitar and piano\, weave together the lyrical dimension of poetry and music\, creating a dialogue between voice and word. The piano played by Francesco\, who also composed the score\, guides the story and heightens its emotional intensity: a soundscape evoking the poet’s moods\, at times transforming into the voices of the men who crossed her path.\nA singer and guitarist active on the national and international jazz scene for thirty years\, Francesca Bertazzo Hart\, Chair of Jazz Vocal Performance at the Steffani Conservatory in Castelfranco Veneto\, is admired in Italy and abroad for effortlessly balancing “brilliant guitar technique and a warm\, enveloping voice that delivers remarkable\, never self-referential scat solos” (F. Favano)\, as well as for her versatility\, mastery of improvisation\, and compositional talent.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788354346447{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\n\nWOMEN FOR FREEDOM IN JAZZ – 10th EDITION\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788354621627{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\nMusical projects inspired by authors and poets\, both classic and contemporary\, form the common thread running through the Women For Freedom in Jazz 2026 festival\, bringing 5 monthly Wednesday concerts to the Aquarius.\nFinal event of the 10th edition: \n\n\n\nOctober 7 | Namritha Nori and Alba Nabulsi\nThe final performance features Italian-Indian musician Namritha Nori alongside Italian-Palestinian journalist and writer Alba Nabulsi. The event offers a journey through music and storytelling centered on the themes of family memory and the collective identity of the Palestinian people\, accompanied by cellist Alvise Seggi.\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission Information\nThroughout the evenings\, guests will have the opportunity to learn more about Women For Freedom’s humanitarian projects and contribute directly to funding them. \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788354912039{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”]Admission subject to availability.

It is a journey that spans from Louis Prima to Ornella Vanoni\, from The Beatles to Poulenc\, culminating in a heartfelt\, essential tribute to Pitura Freska—all through personal reinterpretations that bridge different eras\, styles\, and musical cultures. \nThe result is a dynamic\, engaging concert where authentic jazz roots intertwine with original arrangements\, improvisation\, and a healthy dose of humor. It is a repertoire crafted to highlight music’s ability to reinvent itself while keeping its communicative power fully intact. \nAbove all\, I Congiuntivi Defunti is a meeting of musicians and a playful musical experiment: a quartet traversing seemingly distant genres to prove that a single\, surprising common thread connects jazz\, bossa nova\, pop\, and Italian song.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788353951207{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\n\nMarco Furio Forieri: Biography \n \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788348965659{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\n\nPosti limitati\, consumazione obbligatoria: €15.00 \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n  \n\nAperiJazz\, live music in Venice by\nIL SESTIERE DELLA MUSICA \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The choice to sing in dialect is not out of provincialism\, but rather an artistic decision: the accent and cadence of the lagoon’s idiom naturally blend with the syncopated rhythms of Latin American music. In short\, “South American becomes Venetian.” \nDriven by this concept\, they contaminate the dialect with Spanish\, venturing into translations that are not just linguistic\, but deeply cultural. Through this process\, a musical magic unfolds\, creating a dialogue between two distant universes. \nThroughout their forty-year career\, Batisto Coco has built a rich body of work. They unearth rare idioms still alive in the collective memory\, highlight specific traits of the Venetian identity\, and tell stories ranging from local bàcari (taverns) being sold to Chinese entrepreneurs to the never-ending saga of the MOSE flood barriers. They have even grafted salsa music onto 20th-century classical and Baroque music. \nThrough their live shows\, they pay homage to Venice’s sixteen centuries of history (a classic love-hate relationship)—an age the Serenissima still carries with grace and elegance\, despite everything.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1765881108566{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}”] \n\n\n\nAdmission subject to availability.
