From Sicily to Melbourne — A Journey Through the Sicilian Legacy of Jazz

Sat, 17 Oct, 2:00 pm · Jazz Club

From Sicily to Melbourne is an original project by the Triveni Quartet, created by Sicilian-born drummer and composer Sandro Giambruno. Through live music and storytelling, it celebrates the profound influence of Sicilian musicians—from Nick La Rocca and Louis Prima to Chick Corea—on the evolution of jazz. Blending classic repertoire with original compositions, the performance explores migration, cultural identity and the enduring legacy of Sicily's contribution to the world of jazz.
