During the evening, that musical heritage echoes, carrying the names of Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Irving Berlin, together with the echo of the famous duets with Louis Armstrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/jazz-concert-rome-may-9-2026-a-night-for-ella-ella-fitzgerald.jpeg\" alt=\"jazz-concert-rome-may-9-2026-a-night-for-ella\" class=\"wp-image-53206 lazyload\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong> An elegant tribute, between swing and American songbook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this live performance special is its balance: on one hand the respect for a legendary figure of jazz, on the other a sound that is alive, present, capable of speaking to today\u2019s audience. The voice remains at the center, but the dialogue with Hammond, vibraphone and drums draws a warm, refined and enveloping timbral landscape. The result is an evening of live jazz in Rome that invites attentive listening, but also naturally accompanies a dinner or a drink in a classy setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title of the project itself, <em>Almost Like Being in Love<\/em>, suggests the tone of the evening: bright, romantic, sophisticated. It is the ideal live performance for those who love authentic jazz, for those who want a different evening in Rome and for those looking for a concert capable of becoming an 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:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=smush_video_thumbnail&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fu2bigf337aU&#038;video_width=560&#038;video_height=315)\" ><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \ndata-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u2bigf337aU\" \ntitle=\"YouTube video player\" \nframeborder=\"0\" \nallow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" \nallowfullscreen src=\"about:blank\"><br \/>\n<\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On stage, an essential but personality-rich lineup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/jazz-concert-rome-may-9-2026-a-night-for-ella-laura-sciocchetti-1.jpeg\" alt=\"jazz-concert-rome-may-9-2026-a-night-for-ella\" class=\"wp-image-53207 lazyload\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/laurasciocchetti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Laura Sciocchetti<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 vocals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lewis Saccocci<\/strong> \u2013 Hammond<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jordan Corda<\/strong> \u2013 vibraphone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Francesco Merenda<\/strong> \u2013 drums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lineup gives the project a very recognizable stylistic identity. The voice leads the musical narrative with elegance and stage presence, while the Hammond adds harmonic depth and a soft groove, the vibraphone brings light and transparency, and the drums support the ensemble with dynamics and balance. It is a sound combination that makes this tribute to Ella Fitzgerald particularly evocative: intimate in atmosphere, rich in colors, never predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong> Dinner and concert: a complete experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Elegance Caf\u00e8 Jazz Club, music is only part of a broader offering, designed for those who wish to experience the evening in a complete way. This jazz event with dinner in Rome can be enjoyed in two formats, both consistent with the identity of the club: quality listening, refined cuisine and an elegant atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong> Drink and concert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>drink and concert<\/strong> option is available at the cost of <strong>\u20ac 30<\/strong>.

An approach that makes the pre-concert or listening moment even more distinctive, ideal for those who love the idea of cocktails and jazz in Rome in a refined setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong> Dinner and concert<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who wish to stay at the table, the <strong>dinner and concert<\/strong> option includes <strong>two courses chosen \u00e0 la carte between starters, first and main courses<\/strong>, with <strong>variable cost<\/strong> depending on the selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cuisine led by chef <strong>Marco Roselli<\/strong>, trained at ALMA with European experience, combines Italian roots and an international vision. The menu looks to the world with a precise identity, where Creole and Cajun cuisine find space through spices, technique, seasonality and attention to raw ingredients. The menu follows the rhythm of seasonal ingredients and also includes vegetarian and vegan options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, the evening becomes something more than a simple jazz concert in Rome: it is a dinner with jazz music designed for those looking for an elegant evening, a romantic dinner or a special occasion in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong> The atmosphere of Elegance Caf\u00e8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elegance Caf\u00e8 is an ideal destination for those who wish to listen to live jazz music in Rome in an environment designed to combine sound quality, comfort and beauty.

Her artistic journey spans the years of swing, big bands, clubs, theaters and recordings that have delivered some of the highest moments of the American songbook to history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her voice, agile, powerful and expressive, could be bright, ironic, intense, moving. It is precisely this ability to combine technical precision and interpretative truth that made her a timeless model. Not by chance, Ira Gershwin recognized that he fully understood the beauty of his songs by listening to them in the voice of Ella Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tribute starts from there: from the desire to bring to the stage not only a repertoire, but a style, an elegance, a way of inhabiting music that still speaks strongly today to those who love jazz.<br><br>Book your table at the Elegance Caf\u00e8 Jazz Club and experience on Saturday May 9 an evening of great jazz, signature cuisine and refined atmosphere: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/book-a-table\/\">book now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/jazz-concert-in-rome\/jazz-concert-rome-may-14-2026-sarah-vaughan\/\">->If you love jazz voices,  don&#8217;t miss the tribute to Sarah Vaughan on may 14<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Jazz Concert Rome May 9 2026<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">with<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Book your table for \u00e0 la carte dinner:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"brxe-button btn--primary-light btn--xs bricks-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/book-a-table\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br \/>Click here and BOOK<br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Alternatively you can call <a href=\"tel:+393791360278\">(39) 3791360278<\/a><br \/>or <a href=\"tel:+390657284458\">(39) 0657284458<\/a>.<br \/>With 2 courses of your choice between starter, first and main, the concert is included.<br \/>The Drink &amp; Concert option is also available at \u20ac30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">or<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/jazz-concert\/\">BACK TO JAZZ CONCERTS CALENDAR<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"tags":[],"event_type":[],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-53202","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","hentry","evo_faq-are-there-vegetarian-vegan-options-on-the-menu","evo_faq-can-i-have-dinner-during-the-jazz-concert","evo_faq-can-i-purchase-a-gift-card","evo_faq-do-i-need-to-book-in-advance","evo_faq-how-can-i-stay-updated-on-upcoming-events","evo_faq-is-the-venue-accessible-for-people-with-disabilities","evo_faq-what-time-does-the-concert-start","event_location-elegance-cafe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/53202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53202"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=53202"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=53202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
