Patrizio Destriere Quartet play St Leonards date

Spokeswoman Olga Mamonova said: “Recently we had a great success with an evening of Fabrizio de Andre songs, Italy's finest singer/song writer, and also a coffee concert of Italian classical pianist Simone Alessandro Tavoni, so it looks like the Italian music seems to appeal to the creative local community!

“The Patrizio Destriere Quartet are presenting Portrait of Ennio. Patrizio Destriere is a highly skilled, versatile Neapolitan saxophonist and arranger known for his work in classical, jazz and contemporary music. His amazing quartet will be performing at Kino-Teatr for the first time presenting his critically acclaimed album Portrait of Ennio Morricone that includes cinematic influences from One Evening at Dinner to The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean, from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to Once Upon a Time in America.

“Described as a complex but rewarding artistic endeavour, it blends classic jazz elements with cinematic influences which critics describe as both crystalline and soulful.”

They are Patrizio Destriere tenor and soprano saxophone, Manuel Magrini piano, Vincenzo Quirico double bass and Giuseppe Venditti drums.
