Without a double bass, the arrangement leaves room for constant interaction: each instrument contributes to the trio\u2019s balance, moving between accompaniment, melodic flourishes and rhythmic responses.<\/p><p>The repertoire takes on an intimate character, preserving the spirit of swing while highlighting each musician\u2019s individuality. It is a concert for those who already love this music and those keen to discover it through a live performance.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>The Clarinet Takes Centre Stage<\/h3><p>In this tribute to Benny Goodman, the clarinet is the leading voice, shaping the melodies and exchanging musical ideas with the piano, while the drums sustain and propel the swing rhythm.<\/p><p>The three-piece line-up brings every musical exchange into focus. The arrangements explore dynamics, pauses and accents, revealing both the character of the pieces and the rapport between the performers.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The musicians on stage<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/michele.villari.9\/?locale=it_IT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Michele Villari<\/strong><\/a><strong> \u2013 clarinet<\/strong><\/p><p>The clarinet immediately evokes the sound world of Benny Goodman and takes on the role of the trio&#8217;s main melodic voice.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2026\/09\/Villari_02.jpg.avif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 760px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 760\/1085;\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.elegancecafe.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/09\\\/Villari_02.jpg&quot;}\"><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><strong>Emanuele Rizzo \u2013 piano<\/strong><\/p><p>He shapes the harmonic and rhythmic framework of the concert, alternating accompaniment with solo passages.<\/p><p><strong>Andrea Bonioli \u2013 drums<\/strong><\/p><p>He supports the swing pulse and contributes to the continuous dialogue between the three instruments.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>Benny Goodman and the Swing Era<\/h2><p>Swing was one of the most popular and recognisable periods in jazz history.<\/p><p>Rhythm, elegance, improvisation and a strong communicative energy transformed this music into a language capable of combining listening and movement.<\/p><p>Benny Goodman was one of its leading figures and also helped make the clarinet one of the defining instruments of that era.<\/p><p>The Goodmen Trio concert at Elegance Caf\u00e8 recaptures that energy without attempting a nostalgic copy of the past.<\/p><p>The aim is to bring out the strength of the melodies and swing rhythm through a more essential and contemporary sound.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p>Three instruments and three musical sensibilities come together for an evening dedicated to Benny Goodman\u2019s repertoire, with rhythm, melody and attentive interplay at its heart.<\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>Jazz Concert in Rome on 5 November 2026: Dinner or a Drink at Elegance Caf\u00e8<\/h2><p>For anyone looking for a <strong>jazz concert in Rome on 5 November 2026<\/strong>, Elegance Caf\u00e8 offers an evening combining live music, dining and a cocktail bar.
