TRIBUTE TO MAYNARD FERGUSON / ANDREA TOFANELLI

Description

“Tributo a Maynard Ferguson” (“Tribute to Maynard Ferguson”) is a homage to the great Canadian trumpet player that will see Andrea Tofanelli as a soloist, accompanied by the Montepagano Jazz Festival Big Band.

Andrea Tofanelli, nicknamed from Maynard itself the “Italian Maynard Ferguson”, has been the only Italian trumpet player to be a part of the Ferguson band, precisely because of his incredible talent. He will be accompanied by the MJF All Stars in a tribute night to a Jazz giant, that had as a characteristic the pathos with whom he managed to transform even the outer register of his trumpet, in music.
