Hi everybody,
A fine gig will take place in Molfetta tomorrow, september 22nd: this time I'll be with the band of this fine sax player from Bari, European Sound Project  leaded by Felice Mezzina.
The place is called Dvorak, and you can check the link on how to get there.
 Together with Felice Mezzina and me as guest there will be also:
Nico Marziliano - Piano
Roberto Inciardi - Contrabasso
Franco Guarnieri - Batteria
Snow is the name of the cd released some time ago.

Next week more gigs coming on:
On the 28th finally there will be the FIRST gig of "Gallo and the Roosters", leaded by Danilo Gallo.This group is part of the "El Gallo Rojo" association. and a cd was released some time ago: Todo Chueco.
this will happen in Garda, on the lake, close to Verona; before the "Roosters" there will be a short performance of our duo, together with Bass player Salvatore Maiore.
It will be a good chance to introduce our first cd work, also released by El Gallo Rojo Label: Pequenas flores do inferno.
