Luca Santaniello, New York based drummer since 2001, is presenting a new project on the fusion between Neapolitan traditional music and American Jazz. The most famous songs from the Neapolitan folk tradition such as Maruzzella, A rumba re’ Scugnizz, and Scalinatella longa longa, are given a jazz flavor through Luca’s deep knowledge of the Be Bop jazz style of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, thus opening a multi directional route to improvisation on song themes that distinguish Italian music heritage all over the world. Luca Santaniello is a Juilliard School graduate in Jazz performance and has performed with legends of jazz history such as Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Lee Konitz and Joe Lovano.
Luca Santaniello will play with saxofonist Steve Wilson, bass player Joe Sanders, pianist Theo Hill.
