The Feeling of Jazz is the history of a century or a language experiment to tell the centuries-old history through music, images and words.
A theater, some musicians, and words used as signage are combined to connect jazz and its creativity with feelings, passion and obsessions that have defined our time and return in the images that document them, from the imagery of cinema to the search of art beyond the common sense of things.
The Feeling of Jazz is a historical-sentimental catalog referring to a memorable meeting between Duke Ellington and John Coltrane.
It’s a path divided into stations, each entitled to a theme, through images, music and narration.
This exclusive project for Umbria Jazz Winter includes a current and experimental musical reinterpretation by Enzo Pietropaoli and Michele Rabbia, a visual project by Massimo Achilli and a narration by Guido Barlozzetti, who is the mastermind behind this work.
