Swing, melancholy, sensuality, and irony coexist in the quartet\u2019s arrangements.<\/p>
The repertoire is not approached as a nostalgic exercise. Each song retains its identity while finding a new form through the dialogue between voice, piano, double bass, and drums.<\/p>

From pop music to Roman songs<\/h3>
Alongside American standards, the program features jazz reinterpretations of modern pop songs, including Roxanne<\/strong> by The Police and Steppin\u2019 Out<\/strong> by Joe Jackson.<\/p> The set also includes songs deeply connected to Rome\u2019s musical memory, such as Arrivederci Roma<\/strong>, Roma nun fa\u2019 la stupida stasera<\/strong>, and Roma Capoccia<\/strong>.<\/p> Placed within a jazz setting, these songs reveal their most intimate, melodic, and theatrical qualities.<\/p> Claudio Pantaleone is a jazz singer and crooner with extensive live experience.<\/p> He performs standards and also writes original music with lyrics in both Italian and English.<\/p> His phrasing combines rhythmic precision, expressive dynamics, and narrative ability, evoking the refinement of the great American interpreters while maintaining a personal style.<\/p> Pianist and composer Ettore Carucci studied with Danilo Rea, Ray Santisi, and Paul Schmelling and attended programs at Siena Jazz, Umbria Jazz, and Berklee College of Music in Boston.<\/p> Throughout his career, he has collaborated with musicians including Benny Golson, Paolo Fresu, Fabrizio Bosso, and Robben Ford.<\/p> In Crooners\u2019 Delight Quartet, he creates arrangements capable of bringing different musical worlds together with coherence and naturalness.<\/p> Marco Loddo on double bass and Emanuele Zappia on drums complete the quartet.<\/p> The rhythm section gives depth to the voice, supports the swing, and accompanies the changing atmosphere between American standards, Roman repertoire, and contemporary reinterpretations.<\/p> The drink and concert package<\/strong>, priced at \u20ac30<\/strong>, allows guests to enjoy the live performance with a selection from the cocktail bar inspired by the speakeasies of the 1920s.<\/p> The dinner and concert package<\/strong> includes two \u00e0 la carte courses selected from starters, first courses, and main courses. The final price depends on the dishes chosen.<\/p> Chef Marco Roselli\u2019s cuisine combines Italian tradition with an exploration of Creole and Cajun influences.<\/p> Seasonal ingredients, carefully balanced spices, and precise cooking techniques make dinner an integral part of the experience.<\/p> The crooner concert on September 26 is designed for guests who want an elegant Saturday evening without sacrificing the spontaneity of live music.<\/p> The room keeps the audience close to the stage. Intimate lighting, warm materials, and carefully designed acoustics create a direct relationship with the voice and the musical narrative.<\/p> It is an ideal setting for a romantic evening, an anniversary, or a special dinner.<\/p> The inclusion of Roman songs distinguishes this project from a traditional tribute to American crooners.<\/p> Rome is not merely the city hosting the concert. It becomes part of the repertoire itself.<\/p> Songs belonging to the city\u2019s collective memory are placed alongside international standards through the language of jazz.<\/p> The result highlights what these different worlds share: the central role of melody, attention to lyrics, and the ability to tell an emotional story in just a few minutes.<\/p> Event:<\/strong> Crooners\u2019 Delight Quartet<\/p> Date:<\/strong> Saturday, September 26, 2026<\/p> Venue:<\/strong> Elegance Caf\u00e8 Jazz Club<\/p> Address:<\/strong> Via Francesco Carletti 5, Rome<\/p> Venue opens:<\/strong> 6:00 p.m.<\/p> Dinner service:<\/strong> from 7:00 p.m.<\/p> Concert begins:<\/strong> 9:30 p.m.<\/p> Drink and concert:<\/strong> \u20ac30<\/p> Dinner and concert:<\/strong> two \u00e0 la carte courses, variable price<\/p> Enjoy a Saturday evening of swing, great songs, and signature cuisine.
