Sylvia Bolognesi: Jungle Duke

Read "Jungle Duke" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Silvia Bolognesi, the accomplished Italian double bassist with deep roots in Siena Jazz and Chicago's improvisational scene, leads a dynamic septet through her album, Jungle Duke. This recording offers a spirited and highly successful reworking of Duke Ellington's iconic 1920s “Jungle" era classics, celebrating the centennial of those innovations and the 50th anniversary of the composer's death. Bolognesi intersperses intriguing archival audio clips of Ellington with fresh arrangements that deftly blend historical swing with the band's occasional free jazz explorations. ...

Silvia Bolognesi: Jungle Duke

Read "Jungle Duke" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Nel suo inesausto lavoro creativo, che affianca l'ancor più energica attività di strumentista, Silvia Bolognesi intreccia costantemente e virtuosamente l'antico e il moderno, le sue due “patrie"--la natia Siena e l'adottiva Chicago--e i musicisti con i quali condivide il percorso, talvolta da molti anni attraverso mille collaborazioni, talaltra da poco tempo, perché incontrati nelle aule di Siena Jazz.

Silvia Bolognesi Young Shouts: aLive Shouts. An Homage to Bessie Jones

Read "aLive Shouts. An Homage to Bessie Jones" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Tra i tanti bei progetti che porta avanti, Silvia Bolognesi ha trovato il tempo di dar vita anche a un quartetto di giovani leve, di età comprese tra i venti e i ventiquattro anni, incontrate e apprezzate durante il suo lavoro didattico a Siena Jazz. Per loro a messo a punto un repertorio apposito, a partire dai canti dell'africanoamericana Bessie Jones, nella quale la Bolognesi si era imbattuta quasi per caso alcuni anni fa e che l'aveva subito colpita.
