NINE PENNIES
“The Nine Pennies” Band has been created by Roberto Resaz in Genoa (Italy) in 1998.
The Band lines up 10 musicians: Massimo Rapetti (Trumpet), Denis Trapasso (Trombone), Roberto Trabona (Altosax), Paolo Maffi (Tenorsax), Antonio Maffezzoni (Baritone Sax), Luca Lamari (Piano), Marco Parodi (Guitar), Roberto Resaz (Bass, Leader), Luca Rigazio (Drums), Erika Celesti (Vocalist).
The Band repertoire is mainly inspired to the music of the late 20s and early 30s New York Bands, and the original arrangements, written by the great Jazzman and Bandleader Red Pellini and Roberto Resaz himself, build an ideal bridge between Classic Jazz style and Swing Music.
The Nine Pennies music is exactly what the Dancers look for, perfect for Lindy, Shag, Balboa and Jazz.
A 26 quintet
The A26 Quintet is a band made up of Alberto Oliveri (Clarinet), Luca Lamari (Piano), Marco Parodi (Guitar), Roberto Resaz (Bass) and Luca Rigazio (Drums).
The repertoire consists of jazz classics from all eras, from New Orleans to Be-Bop interpreted in a swing, according to the personal style of the quintet.
Alternating moments of quiet and rhythmic impulses, the musicians offer a rundown of tracks where nothing is taken for granted, but the passion for music and the desire to have fun with the dancers.
This will be a great opportunity to abbandon yourself to their musical creativity.
