Now that we don’t count on him so much around here, force of a residence in Swiss lands, Gabriel Ferrandini programs three nights dedicated to jazz in this house that is also his. A very active figure in the epicenter of the panorama in all its multiplicity, Ferrandini also reveals an attention, belief, and enthusiasm that one feels, and felt even more during those months of madness when he took over Irreal with Pedro Sousa. A nostalgic place that agglutinated ideas and lives, with concerts (practically) every day in a vast spectrum of languages where jazz had, obviously, a privileged space. It is in the memory of those days and with a sense of celebration that Ferrandini now proposes to occupy this space with three nights with premieres, more or less recent formations, solos, long-time accomplices and a very broad peripheral vision of what jazz can be today.
