B/W photo by Carlo Verri
Beautiful and meaningful black and white photos of great jazz musicians documented over a quarter of a century. Verri began his activity in 1978 and was lucky enough to meet many sacred monsters who made the history of jazz such as Ella Fitzgerald, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Miriam Makeba, Keith Jarret and many others. The title refers to the golden period of jazz which the photographer was able to get to know closely even if towards the end. Exciting situations, on stage and off stage, expressions that bring images to life.
FMJ24 30 concerts, events and performances
The first week of the Novara Jazz 24 Festival then continued with several concerts, some in the area. In the homes designed byAntonelli and in his birthplace in Maggiora. The well-known architect from Novara, who designed, among other things, the Dome of Novara and the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, the concerts were unique opportunities to get to know houses normally closed to the public. The FAI also contributed to opening the doors of castles and residences. At the end of the events, tastings with wines and products from the area.
The highlight of the NovaraJazz Festival
The highlight of NovaraJazz will be this week, starting from Thursday 6 June and until 9 June included. In Novara Città live concerts, DJ sets, for magical nights with music to dance to, from the most refined vinyls to new DJs, performances in the imposing Broletto Monumental complex, in the spectacular cloister of the Canonica del Duomo and in other museums and historic buildings. A good suggestion for a visit out of town from Milan or Turin and listen to great music.
