Marco Zurzolo & Banda M.V.M (Italy)

The soul of Italian, but indeed of all Mediterranean music, lies in Naples, where saxophonist-composer Marco Zurzolo exposes the charming, mysterious multicultural landscapes of the ever-vibrant city. He creates harmonious combinations between Arabic roots of North Africa and classical Neapolitan rhythm, with deep Balkan and Spanish melodies and a generous dose of a stimulating boundless jazz. From the alto and soprano sax of the band "Banda M.V.M." (“Mamma, vita, mia”) exudes a multifaceted and at the same time precisely defined orchestration. Marco Zurzolo's extensive theatrical experience blends harmoniously with the panoramic sound of his band offering an exceptional result.
