Omaggio a Carla Bley – MeJO Orchestra
An open-air, underground big band night.
A tribute to the prolific composer and keyboardist Carla Bley (1936-2023), whose work bridged the gap between mainstream jazz, radical free-jazz, and rock elements. This special performance features arrangements by Maurizio Giammarco, who reinterprets Bley's most famous compositions specifically for the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra (MeJO). The concert avoids Bley's original big band scores to present a fresh crossover perspective through the lens of one of Rome's most skilled contemporary jazz ensembles.
