An intense and refined evening to enjoy over dinner or cocktails, with the live performance just a few steps from your table.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2><br><\/h2><h2>Nina Simone: A Voice Between Jazz, Blues, Folk and Soul<\/h2><p>Few artists have moved between different musical languages with the expressive power of Nina Simone.<\/p><p>The <strong>Little Girl Blue<\/strong> project explores her artistic universe through some of the jazz, blues and folk classics she interpreted and transformed throughout her career.<\/p><p>The <strong>Nina Simone tribute in Rome on October 2, 2026<\/strong> goes beyond celebrating a repertoire. It places the focus on a distinctive musical personality in which classical piano, jazz, blues, folk, spiritual and soul became part of a deeply individual language.<\/p><p>This variety is what gives the evening its character. The concert moves between intimacy and intensity, melodic elegance and narrative depth, making it especially suited to those who love vocal jazz and performances capable of creating an immediate emotional connection with the audience.<\/p><p><br><\/p><div class=\"lazyload smush-lazyload-video smush-lazyload-youtube\" style=\"--smush-video-aspect-ratio: 16\/9\" 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%2F3ZS7iKdRo5Q%3Fshowinfo%3D0&#038;video_width=2560&#038;video_height=0)\" ><iframe class=\"ql-video\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ZS7iKdRo5Q?showinfo=0\" src=\"about:blank\"><\/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><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Music and Civil Rights<\/h3><p>Throughout Nina Simone&#8217;s career, music also became closely connected with the fight against racism and the struggle for civil rights. This dimension contributes to the emotional power of her repertoire and makes her interpretations much more than a collection of songs.<\/p><p>Little Girl Blue embraces this complexity without turning the concert into a purely historical reconstruction. The focus remains on sound, voice and the ability of this music to communicate with listeners today.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The Musicians on Stage<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gloria.trapani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Gloria Trapani<\/strong><\/a><strong> \u2013 vocals<\/strong><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gloria-trapani-elegance-cafe.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 899px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 899\/1348;\"><\/p><p><br><\/p><p>The voice forms the narrative heart of the project, guiding the audience through the many shades of Nina Simone&#8217;s repertoire.<\/p><p><strong>Pierpaolo Principato \u2013 piano<\/strong><\/p><p>The piano recalls an essential element of Nina Simone&#8217;s musical identity while providing the harmonic foundation of the quartet.<\/p><p><strong>Alessandro Del Signore \u2013 double bass<\/strong><\/p><p>He adds depth and movement to the rhythmic foundation of the ensemble.<\/p><p><strong>Davide Di Pasquale \u2013 trombone<\/strong><\/p><p>The trombone gives the group a warm and distinctive instrumental voice, expanding the tonal palette of the performance.<\/p><p>The line-up allows the musicians to move naturally between jazz and blues while maintaining an intimate balance perfectly suited to close listening.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>A Vocal Jazz Evening to Experience at the Table<\/h2><p>Elegance Caf\u00e8 allows guests to choose the rhythm of their evening.<\/p><p>The <strong>drink and concert option, priced at \u20ac30<\/strong>, is designed for those who would like to enjoy a cocktail alongside the live performance.<\/p><p>With the <strong>dinner and concert option<\/strong>, guests can choose two \u00e0 la carte courses from starters, first courses and main courses, enjoying Chef Marco Roselli&#8217;s cuisine before the concert begins.<\/p><p>The food concept combines Italian roots with an international outlook and particular inspiration from Creole and Cajun cuisine.
