His stylistic signature \u2013 essential, refined, deeply rhythmic \u2013 comes alive in this concert through arrangements that respect tradition while looking to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On stage, a dynamic live performance unfolds, full of interplay, well-timed pauses, and a sense of timing that engages from the very first piece. The music does not overwhelm, it accompanies. It does not fill, but leaves space. It is precisely in this balance that the great Basie lesson is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening is presented in two sets, ideal for those who want to enjoy live jazz in Rome in a refined setting, as well as for those seeking a <strong>dinner with jazz music<\/strong> that turns into a full experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><div class=\"lazyload smush-lazyload-video smush-lazyload-youtube\" style=\"--smush-video-aspect-ratio: 560\/315\" data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/aT5NKGgKjyo\/maxresdefault.webp)\" data-smush-avif-fallback='{&quot;data-bg-image&quot;:&quot;url(https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/aT5NKGgKjyo\\\/maxresdefault.jpg)&quot;}'><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aT5NKGgKjyo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><br \/> <\/iframe><span class=\"smush-play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span tabindex=\"0\" class=\"smush-play-btn-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Play<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The musicians on stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Concert protagonists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/massimopironeofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massimo Pirone<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 trombone and arrangements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2026\/04\/jazz-concert-rome-may-3-2026-basies-bag-massimo-pirone.jpeg.avif\" alt=\"jazz-concert-rome-may-3-2026-basies-bag-massimo-pirone\" class=\"wp-image-53140 lazyload\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.elegancecafe.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/04\\\/jazz-concert-rome-may-3-2026-basies-bag-massimo-pirone.jpeg&quot;}\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pietro Caroleo<\/strong> \u2013 piano<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/jazz-concert-rome-may-3-2026-basies-bag-pietro-caroleo.jpeg\" alt=\"jazz-concert-rome-may-3-2026-basies-bag-pietro-caroleo\" class=\"wp-image-53141 lazyload\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carlo Battisti<\/strong> \u2013 drums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The trio brings to the stage a direct, elegant, and aware musical language, built around the balance between swing tradition and contemporary sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dinner and concert: a complete experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Elegance Caf\u00e8, the concert is just part of a broader evening, designed for those who wish to enjoy a refined experience in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two options are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drink and concert<\/strong> \u2013 \u20ac25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dinner and concert<\/strong> \u2013 with two courses chosen from appetizers, first and second courses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The gastronomic offer by chef <strong>Marco Roselli<\/strong> moves between Italian roots and international influences, with a strong identity inspired by Creole and Cajun cuisine.
