Voice, piano, double bass and drums shape an intimate and sophisticated evening, ideal to enjoy over dinner or a drink just a few steps from the stage.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>\u201cTo Burt with Love\u201d: Bacharach\u2019s great melodies become jazz<\/h2><p>Burt Bacharach\u2019s repertoire has a rare quality: instantly recognizable melodies built on sophisticated harmonies, unexpected modulations and rhythmic shifts that take the traditional pop song far beyond its usual boundaries.<\/p><p>\u201cTo Burt with Love\u201d grows from Mimma Pisto\u2019s desire to enter this musical world and reinterpret it through a jazz voice without losing the delicacy of the original compositions.<\/p><p>The concert includes songs such as <em>Close to You<\/em>, <em>I\u2019ll Never Fall in Love Again<\/em>, <em>This Guy\u2019s in Love with You<\/em> and <em>Alfie<\/em>, revisited through arrangements that create new spaces for improvisation.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h3><strong>Intimacy and improvisational freedom<\/strong><\/h3><p>The defining feature of the evening is contrast.<\/p><p>On one side are intimate, almost confidential passages in which the voice guides the story. On the other, piano, double bass and drums open the repertoire to freer melodic, rhythmic and harmonic exchanges.<\/p><p>This meeting between sophisticated songwriting and jazz makes the project particularly suited to listeners looking for a refined evening without giving up the immediacy of great songs.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The concert: what to expect from the evening<\/h2><p>The repertoire includes some of Bacharach\u2019s most recognisable songs:<\/p><p><br><\/p><ul><li>\u201cClose to You\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cI\u2019ll Never Fall in Love Again\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cThis Guy\u2019s in Love with You\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cAlfie\u201d<\/li><\/ul><p>The compositions are approached in a way that highlights both their melodic writing and their harmonic character: unexpected modulations, rhythmic changes, and passages capable of moving beyond the predictable structure of the traditional pop song.<\/p><p>Mimma Pisto moves through this material with a voice rich in blues and soul nuances, while maintaining a distinctly jazz-oriented approach. Ettore Carucci\u2019s piano expands the palette through original arrangements, while double bass and drums create a sensitive and flexible rhythmic framework.<\/p><p>The evening moves naturally from the delicacy of a ballad to more energetic moments, without losing the coherence of a tribute developed with care and intention.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The musicians on stage<\/h2><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mimmapisto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mimma Pisto<\/a> \u2013 vocals<\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2026\/08\/mimma-pisto-jazz-concert-rome-elegance-cafe.jpeg.avif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/614;\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.elegancecafe.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/mimma-pisto-jazz-concert-rome-elegance-cafe.jpeg&quot;}\"><\/p><p>A singer and composer from Basilicata, Mimma Pisto graduated in Jazz from the Bologna Conservatory with top marks. She studied with Diana Torto, Cinzia Spata and Maria Pia De Vito and explored harmony and arranging with Tomaso Lama and Paolo Silvestri. Throughout her career she has collaborated with artists including Mario Biondi, Dario Deidda, Tony Momrelle, Luca Manutza and Daniele Scannapieco.<\/p><p>Her vocal approach moves through jazz, soul and pop, with particular attention to phrasing, scat and a blues-inflected sensibility.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Ettore Carucci \u2013 piano and arrangements<\/h3><p>A jazz pianist and composer, Carucci studied with Danilo Rea, Ray Santisi and Paul Schmelling. He has shared the stage with numerous Italian and international musicians and developed a career encompassing concerts, teaching and an extensive discography.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Stefano Nunzi \u2013 double bass<\/h3><p>A double bassist with both classical and jazz training, active in the Roman scene and in numerous national and international projects.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Andrea Nunzi \u2013 drums<\/h3><p>A drummer and teacher with extensive live experience, developed through studies, workshops and collaborations with leading figures in Italian and international jazz.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>Dinner and concert for a romantic evening<\/h2><p>Bacharach\u2019s melodies invite relaxed listening and fit naturally with the dinner and concert experience at Elegance Caf\u00e8.<\/p><p>From 7:00 PM, guests can dine by choosing two \u00e0 la carte courses from starters, first courses and main courses. The menu combines Italian roots with international influences and has a particular identity inspired by Creole and Cajun cuisine.<\/p><p>For those who prefer to focus on the live performance, the drink and concert formula is available for \u20ac30.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The atmosphere of Elegance Caf\u00e8<\/h2><p>\u201cTo Burt with Love\u201d is designed for a room where nuance has space to emerge.<\/p><p>The club\u2019s carefully designed acoustics and the closeness between tables and stage enhance both the detail of the voice and the instrumental conversation. Soft lighting, warm materials and the intimate scale of the venue create an experience ideal for a romantic dinner, an anniversary or simply a Friday evening devoted to music.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>In focus: Bacharach beyond the pop song<\/h2><p>Burt Bacharach\u2019s writing is distinguished by its ability to make complex musical structures feel immediate. Memorable melodies coexist with advanced harmonies, unexpected modulations, and rhythmic shifts that continuously alter the balance of the song.<\/p><p>\u201cTo Burt with Love\u201d highlights this richness. The arrangements do not erase the accessible nature of the compositions, but open their structures to jazz improvisation.<\/p><p>Voice, piano, double bass, and drums can therefore move in and out of the original form, keeping the melody recognisable while building new expressive spaces around it.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>Practical information and reservations<\/h2><p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Friday, October 16, 2026<\/p><p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Elegance Caf\u00e8 Jazz Club<\/p><p><strong>Address:<\/strong> Via Francesco Carletti, 5 \u2013 Rome<\/p><p><strong>Opening:<\/strong> 6:00 PM<\/p><p><strong>Dinner:<\/strong> from 7:00 PM<\/p><p><strong>Concert:<\/strong> 9:30 PM<\/p><p><strong>Drink and concert:<\/strong> \u20ac30<\/p><p><strong>Dinner and concert:<\/strong> two \u00e0 la carte courses; variable price.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><strong>Book your table and let Burt Bacharach\u2019s melodies accompany an evening where jazz, voice and cuisine share the same sense of elegance.<\/strong><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3 class=\"ql-align-center\">Jazz Concert Rome October 16 2026<\/h3><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">with<\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><h4 class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/h4><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><strong>To Burt with Love &#8211; Mimma Pisto sings Bacharach<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><h3 class=\"ql-align-center\"><strong>Book your table for the \u00e0 la carte dinner:<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/book-a-table\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here and BOOK<\/a><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">Alternatively you can call <a href=\"tel:+393791360278\" target=\"_blank\">(39) 3791360278<\/a><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">or <a href=\"tel:+390657284458\" target=\"_blank\">(39) 0657284458<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">With 2 courses of your choice among starter, first course and main course, the concert is included.<\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">Drink &amp; Concert package also available at \u20ac30.<\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\">or<\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><br><\/p><p class=\"ql-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/jazz-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\">BACK TO THE JAZZ CONCERT CALENDAR<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54895,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"tags":[],"event_type":[],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-54894","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","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\/54894","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\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54894"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=54894"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=54894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
