The Italian capital Rome will host various music events this month. This Friday, 18th November at 9 o’clock in the evening the Roberta Gambarini Quartet will perform “So in Love”. The event is part of the Roma Jazz Festival. The event will take place at Auditorium Parco della Musica, Sala Petrassi. The musician Gambarini was nominated for a Grammy award in the year 2008. It is a curious fact that she started as a musician in jazz clubs in Northern Italy, then moved to Milan to work for a radio and television, before she started recording under her own name. 
She found favour with the public and jazz critics with her album “Easy to Love”, which she released in the year 2006. Later, she was described as the “best new jazz vocalist to come along in fifty years” by the pianist Hank Jones. The music event is definitely worth a visit.
Other musicians that will be performing this Friday are the French flutist Magic Malik and the composer Gilbert Nuovo as part of the Franco Jazz Festival. Gilbert Nuovo has been performing at the French Academy Villa Medici, while Magic Malik was part of the reggae band Human Spirit. Today, Malik is among the leading jazz musicians. The event will take place near Piazza Navona in Rome, at Centro San Luigi dei Francesi, Largo Giuseppe Toniolo.
As part of the Roma Jazz Festival the city will welcome the combination of bass and a solo voice of Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti, former members of the group Avion Travel. The duo will perform on Saturday, 19th November at Auditorium Parco della Musica, Sala Sinopoli. The musicians aim at the pure emotion coming from the music and their repertoire includes pop and jazz performances. On the same day Ibrahim Malouf will appear. Malouf is a trumpeter, specialising in combining Western jazz with Arabic influences, forming a kind of Mediterranean jazz style.
