Britain's What's On Event Guide
Filippo Dall'Asta Quartet
Experience the vibrant spirit of gypsy jazz with an international flair as virtuoso guitarist Filippo Dall’Asta returns to Linton Village Hall, this time with his brand-new band.
Leading a brand-new quartet formed in Barcelona, Filippo is joined by powerhouse vocalist Francesca Confortini, and two stars of the Spanish jazz scene: Neter Calafati on guitar and Oscar Tinoco on double bass.
Blending the infectious swing of Django Reinhardt with bebop, classical and world music influences, the quartet delivers a thrilling performance of jazz standards and original compositions…rich with storytelling, fiery improvisation, and irresistible rhythm.
This is gypsy jazz with a global heartbeat. Intimate, theatrical, and joyfully alive.
