The Grand Orchestras

The grand orchestras; those real musical labs where inspiration is born out of historical reflections on orchestral jazz, from the Kansas City formations to be-bop and American and European avanguard to today’s stars, such as Paolo Nonnis Ottetto, the eight piece superband directed by the Sardinian (from Selargius) who has been living in Los Angeles since 1977 (when he studied with drummer Carl Mottola). A musical journey in musical jazz styles from dixieland to bebop, from swing to blues, from latin jazz to acid jazz.
The orchestra of wind instruments Funk Off, the street supergroup, is unique to the genre. Eleven musicians let fly on their wind instruments accompanied by four in the rhythm section, to make for an out of the ordinary choreographed concert not to be missed: contagious and great fun for everyone; see it, listen to it, dance to it. Enjoy!

Under the baton of one of the most famous jazz in Sardinia, the pianist Paolo Carrus, the Big Band Orchestra, made up of students of the Scuola Civica di Musica in Cagliari conducted by Luigi Puddu. Distinguished guest of the latter is Franco Cerri, "The Italian Jazz Guitarrist" among the greatest guitarists in the world boasting a book of outstanding collaborations such as Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie, Django Reinhardt, George Benson, Johnny Griffin, Lee Konitz, Tony Scott and many others.
