Early Wayne, Early Trane
Riccardo Del Fra, double bass, Christian von der Goltz, piano, Heinrich Köbberling, drums
”Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane were friends, apparently sharing ideas on music and sometimes practicing together. Between 1959 and 1967, they were both extremely active on stage and in studio, each of them creating new and revolutionary paths that brought jazz and the music in general in very advanced state-of-the-art dimensions. The quartet will play a choice of compositions that the two Masters wrote in the same period of those years. The purpose is not to compare but to taste and to enjoy their distinctive approaches and their peculiar styles.”

”Jade Visions” - A Tribute To Scott LaFaro
Riccardo Del Fra, double bass - Christian von der Goltz, piano - Heinrich Köbberling, drums
”Scott LaFaro is for me one of the most influential double bass player in the jazz history. Sadly he had a short life and played the bass less than seven years, but he was a phenomenal instrumentalist and a great innovator, re-inventing the role of the bassist in the rhythm section, getting more freedom and more mobile interplay, showing new paths for post-modern music conceptions. We will perform some of his compositions and some of the standards he used to play with his inspired and inspiring colleague and friend, Bill Evans”.

Tribute to Chet Baker

Bill Petry, trumpet, Christian Von Der Goltz, piano, Riccardo Del Fra, double bass

Riccardo Del Fra has played many years with Chet Baker and recorded with him some best-sellers album like ”Chet Baker Sings Again” or ”Chet Baker Live in London at the Ronnie Scott’s” or ”Mr.B”. The trio will perform a selection of the favorite songs that Chet used to play in the 1980’s mostly in this particular drumless format. Music with an elegant constraint for attentive interaction, lyricism and meaningful silence.

”An Elegant Called Porter” - An Intimate Hommage To Cole Porter
Bill Petry, trumpet Riccardo Del Fra, double bass
Cole Porter is one of the most prolific American composers and songwriters. Many of his songs became standards that found success on Broadway and in the film industry. His beautiful melodies and his refined harmonic canvas are a thrilling territory of experimentation for the jazz improvisers. Bill and Riccardo propose an immersion in the music world of Cole Porter through the playful intimacy of the duet.
