AL DI MEOLA TRIO

The Al Di Meola Acoustic Trio is one of the most intimate and sophisticated expressions of legendary American guitarist Al Di Meola, a key figure in jazz fusion since the 1970s. This format allows him to explore an acoustic universe rich in nuance, drawing from flamenco, classical, Latin, and Mediterranean influences.

From his early days with Return to Forever alongside Chick Corea, through his collaborations with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía in the iconic Guitar Trio, to his prolific solo career, Di Meola has been a constant innovator. With his acoustic trio, he reveals a more delicate and emotional side, without abandoning the technical brilliance that made him famous.

His concerts combine the energy of virtuosity with the intimacy of emotional performance, guiding listeners through soundscapes ranging from southern Italy to Latin America, from tango to jazz improvisation.

KENNY BARRON TRIO

Kenny Barron is a living legend of modern jazz. Renowned for his lyrical touch, harmonic sensitivity, and sophisticated phrasing, he has mentored generations of musicians and stands as a key figure in post-bop jazz. His trio format represents one of the most refined expressions of his artistry.

Barron has played with legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Ron Carter, and Charlie Haden. His trio is considered one of the most elegant and consistent in contemporary jazz, offering a blend of classic jazz tradition and a unique voice that embraces improvisation and melodic exploration.
