As part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival on Saturday 15 October, the young and talented jazz musician Francesca Remigi performed at the JazzLab with the support of the Italian Institute of Culture in Melbourne.
Francesca Remigi is a multi-skilled drummer, jazz player and composer from Bergamo, who has made a name for herself in the avant-guard jazz scene in New York, collaborating with great musicians such as George Garzone, Kris Davis and Steve Lehman.
Together with Italian bass clarinet player Federico Calcagno and some of Melbourne’s most accomplished young improvisers, Remigi showcased her project Archipélagos. Aesthetically unique, Archipélagos features a refined blend of sounds inspired by a wide range of genres: modern jazz, contemporary classical, prog rock, Carnatic music, electronic and free jazz.
In her video interview with us, Francesca talks about the creative path that lead her to develop her latest project The Human Web and her unusual vision of music as expressive language that allows her to tackle even very personal topics, making them universal and comprehensible to people of the most diverse ages, languages, cultures and backgrounds.
