Fabrizio Sotti: The Key to Music
Fernando Rodriguez
Fernando writes for his Jazz Blog (only page dedicated to promoting jazz in the Dominican Republic and it's musicians, composers and other related), promotes Jazz in the country and manages a weekly live Jazz spaceAAJ: You played in your trio format and also accompanied Chilean-born jazz vocalist Claudia Acuña—what were those experiences like? And, what were your overall impressions of the festival?
FS: It was the first time I played with these musicians, besides Claudia Acuña, so it was full of good surprises. As for the festival, I think that it's an amazing festival in a paradise-like setting.
AAJ: If you could choose, who would you like to play with and why?
FS: I would love one day to have the chance to play with Keith Jarrett because his music never ceases to inspire me.
AAJ: As a final thought, is there any particular message you would like to share with our readers? FS: Respect music and it will never let you down.
