CLAUDIO VIGNALI Piano Solo

On 30 April, Bergamo Jazz Festival joins in the celebration of International Jazz Day with an extraordinary event near the Bergamo Walls, a UNESCO-protected property that has been promoting International Jazz Day around the world since 2011. At sunset, pianist Claudio Vignali will accompany the setting of the sun, letting his improvisational flair flow.
