Manouche Jazz Nights are coming:
four evenings, four ways to interpret manouche jazz.
From contemporary school to the most classical repertoire, between virtuosity and sound research: the Manouche Jazz Nights lineup brings to Flashback Habitat musicians who cross the genre with different styles and sensibilities.

thu. 23.04
DMITRY KUPTSOV TRIO
Dmitry Kuptsov, guitar

Veronica Perego, double bass
An instrumental trio led by one of the leading jazz-manouche musicians on the Russian scene. Dmitry Kuptsov has explored this musical style and its nuances with great meticulousness and precision, developing his own personal interpretation of the genre, where a modern and virtuosic approach merges with the study of the tradition of Django Reinhardt.
He is joined by Tobia Davico on guitar and Veronica Perego on double bass.
sat. 25.04
ROMANOUCHE
Augusto Creni, guitar
Mauro Gregori, guitar

ROMANOUCHE is a musical project dedicated to rediscovering the music of Django Reinhardt, of which Creni is a refined interpreter and expert. Together with guitarist Mauro Gregori and double bassist Andrea Garombo, the group retraces the life of the legendary French guitarist through music and anecdotes.
fri. 24.04
ADRIEN MARCO TRIO
​
Adrien Marco, guitar
Giangiacomo Rosso, guitar
Michele Millesimo, double bass
After almost accidentally encountering the music of Django Reinhardt, Adrien Marco was drawn to the sounds of the Sinti world, which struck him straight to the heart with their distinctive musical language. Influenced throughout his musical journey by great masters of the style, Marco is today a highly respected representative of the contemporary French school, known for his virtuosity and creativity. For the second evening, Marco performs with Giangiacomo Rosso on guitar and Michele Millesimo on double bass.
sun. 26.04
20 STRINGS
​
Alberto Palazzi, solo guitar
Maurizio Mazzeo, rhythm guitar
Andrea Garombo, double bass
Simone Arlorio, clarinet
Luca Zanon, drums
Active since 2012 in Italy and abroad, the 20 Strings have explored and deepened the many facets of jazz manouche—from its contemporary interpretations to traditional repertoire—always keeping the reference to Django Reinhardt at the center, particularly the repertoire of the 1940s, characterized by an innovative musical language, a sharp electric sound, and the presence of the clarinet.
The group—composed of Alberto Palazzi and Maurizio Mazzeo (founder of the band) on guitars, Andrea Garombo on double bass, and Simone Arlorio on clarinet—presents a form of jazz manouche that condenses these years of exploration and experience.
Dedicating a festival to Jazz Manouche means, for Flashback, bringing into the ecosystem a music that was born on the margins.
Jazz Manouche emerged from the encounter between the European Romani tradition and American jazz, but above all from a historically marginal position: that of nomadic communities, accustomed to living between borders, never completely within a system, never fully assimilated. It is a music that does not develop at the center, but at intersections, in passages, in zones of contact.
In this sense, it is not only a musical language but also a way of seeing: oblique, mobile, capable of holding together memory and transformation without fixing itself into a single identity.
