BERGAMO JAZZ 2026 Special event for International Jazz Day Thursday, April 30, 2026, 6:30 p.m. Eleonora Strino Trio in Mascheroni Square   After the days in March, crowned with great success by the public and the press, and in anticipation of the two summer concerts at Lazzaretto, with Fatoumata Diawara on July 2 and Dee Dee Bridgewater on July 18, Bergamo Jazz joins theInternational Jazz Day sponsored byUNESCO again this year. In fact, on Thursday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m., in Piazza Mascheroni, one of the symbolic places of Città Alta, a special free event is scheduled featuring the tried-and-true trio of one of the brightest new talents in jazz not only from Italy, guitarist Eleonora Strino, a soloist capable of reinventing the six-string with fresh ideas. At her side will be double bassist Giulio Corini and drummer Zeno De Rossi, both experienced musicians capable of assisting the leader to the fullest in her sonic evolutions. Born in Naples, in whose conservatory she studied, Eleonora Strino began her professional career playing in composer Roberto De Simone's orchestra. Her meeting with double bassist Greg Cohen, former collaborator of Tom Waits and John Zorn, was instrumental in her rise in the jazz world. This first international partnership was followed by others, with Wayne Escofferey, Ulf Walkenius, Seamous Blake, Joey Baron, Peter Bernstein, Jesse Davis and many others. In November 2021 Eleonora Strino recorded the album I Got Strings in Berlin with Greg Cohen and Joey Baron themselves. In July 2022 she was called by guitarist Martin Tayler to take part in "The Great Guitarists" tour, a project launched in 1973 and which over the years has featured the greatest guitarists in jazz history, from Barney Kessell to Keny Burrell. Also in 2022 he took part in "Women and Music" with Ornella Vanoni, the recently deceased artist's last tour. In 2025 her latest work, Matilde, was released with Claudio Vignali on piano, Giulio Corini on double bass and Zeno De Rossi on drums. In recent months he has played at Ronnie Scott's in London, a historic jazz club in the British capital, and held his first tour in the United States. Eleonora Strino's style is rooted in the finest modern school of jazz guitar, from Jim Hall to Barney Kessel, and is nourished by a personal communicative vein that becomes palpable and engaging in concerts.
