Here are the “Mobile Sounds” again in extra-large format: almost two months of concerts, from 27 June to 15 August, between Milano, Monza and Lecco (but not only).

The curtain will rise on Tuesday 27 June on the new edition of "Suoni Mobili", the music festival organized by Musicamorfosi and promoted by the Brianteo Villa Greppi Consortium which has always animated the summers of Brianza, Monza and Lecco. With many new features, a very rich program (including Italian and international jazz, "spiritual jazz" events financed by the Ministry of Culture, songwriting, tango, gospel, Middle Eastern sounds and music from all over the world, from the Caribbean to the Far East) and a record duration: this year, in fact, the events will follow one another for almost two months, until 15 August, touching not only the traditional provinces of Monza and Lecco, but focusing significantly on Milano and on the Como side of the Lario.

The opening event of the 27th edition is the “Suoni Mobili Party”, scheduled for Tuesday XNUMX June Milano: on the outdoor stage of Cascina Cuccagna, space for "The Jazz Side of the Tango", the absolute protagonist is the voice, tinged with intense melancholy, of the Italian-Argentine singer Sarita Schena. In this double live show (19.30pm and 21.30pm) tango will mix with jazz and world music and Sarita will be joined by two excellent musicians such as the guitarist Giuseppe De Trizio and the saxophonist Claudio Carboni. On this occasion, an important new initiative will be announced which will start at the beginning of July and which will last until the middle of next October: it is the exhibition "The city that rises - New Urban Rituals", created with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality Of Milano (as part of the call “Milano is alive in the suburbs”) and with the precious partnership of the Gioventù Musicale d'Italia Foundation.

Returning to "Suoni Mobili", as mentioned, there are many concerts of the new season with many groups arriving from abroad. Among the dozens of events on the agenda we highlight the “Around Stabat Mater” project on Friday 30 June in Seveso (Mb), a reinterpretation by the trumpeter and composer Giovanni Falzone (with Nadio Marenco on the accordion and Andrea Andreoli on the trombone) of the sacred vocal masterpiece written in 1736 by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi; Sunday 2 July, in the Italian gardens of Villa Greppi, in Monticello Brianza (Lc), the strings of the Alkemia Quartet will be on stage, classically trained musicians who make contemporaneity their aesthetic and who offer a repertoire that ranges from jazz to fusion, from blues to rock, from minimal to folk, but not only; do not miss the live performance of the international trio of Michele Fazio, a jazz pianist with an extraordinary melodic streak, on 3 July in Cinisello Balsamo (Milan), as well as the double show of the Swiss harpist Esther Sévérac (5 July in Usmate Velate and 6 July to Milano); the formidable Spanish singer and guitarist Anna Ferrer will perform on 11 July in Pesaro in the "twin" festival Alte Marche, on 12 July in Cesano Maderno and on 13 July in Milano; Satoyama, the group that won the 2022 edition of Nuova Generazione Jazz, will be in concert on Thursday 13 July in Usmate Velate (Mb); the duo composed of singer Antonella Ruggiero and Roberto Olzer (organ) will be the protagonists on July 14th in Seregno; the project “Gospel Times-Black Spirituals” by the appreciated vocalist Joyce Juille will be on stage on July 23rd in Cesano Maderno; the trio of the Spanish pianist Marco Mezquida, a crystalline talent of jazz and not only Iberian, will perform on Sunday 6 August at the Castello Sforzesco in Milano in a special evening dedicated to flamenco with the groups Los Aurora and Liberica; the irresistible and engaging rhythms of Mirla Riomar, Afro-Brazilian singer, guitarist and percussionist, will enliven four live shows from 25 to 28 July between Milano, Bulciago (Lc) and Figino Serenza (Co).
The month of August will begin with a double concert by Kit Downes, BBC Jazz Award-winning solo artist, organ virtuoso and Mercury Music Award nominee for ECM Records, first to Milano (Tuesday 1st at the Cuccagna Jazz Club) and the next day, Wednesday 2nd, in Lecco. Then the Suoni Mobili caravan will stop on the Como side of the Lario. Not to be missed, in particular, on Monday 7th in Tremezzo (Co), “Caribe”, the latest project by Ana Carla Maza, cellist and singer who is no exaggeration to define as prodigious. The Cuban artist, the new queen of the international scene who brings together improvised music, classical music and the colors of Latin America, will deploy a range of colors and emotions, alternating caresses and storms, elegantly accompanied by a jazz trio.
We will move again to Lecco on Friday 11th with the mixed rhythms of the All Indians Impérial Quartet and on Saturday 12th with the delicate and poetic duo composed of the singer Yumi Ito, of Polish and Japanese origins but based in Switzerland, and the guitarist Szymon Mika , whose sound is an amalgam of jazz, art-pop, electronic and neoclassical. On Sunday 13 August we will return to Brianza and it will be jazz time again with the Dimidiam duo, namely Massimiliano Milesi on sax and Giacomo Papetti on electric bass, in Cesano Maderno (Mb).
Finally, for the closing event of the new edition, we will return to Cuccagna Jazz on Tuesday 15 August Milano for a great mid-August celebration with the double set of the experimental trio Sneer, composed of Massimiliano Milesi (sax, electronics), Francesco Baiguera (bass, electronics) and Michele Zuccarelli Gennasi (drums, electronics).
