‘Explosive, unpredictable, sentimental, swinging. A collective musical spirit that moves in every direction freely and passionately. Jazz – always. A fairground experience’: this is how Jeff Ballard describes his new edition of the ‘Fairgrounds’ project involving three other musicians of proven imagination and versatility. Alongside the leader – applauded on several occasions by the Bergamo Jazz audience (the last time in June 2021 in a line-up led by Snarky Puppy bassist Michael League) – there’s saxophonist Logan Richardson, also heard in the city in recent years, guitarist Charles Altura and bassist Joe Sanders.
