Michela Lombardi and Ugo Bongianni – There was a time, in the Italian pop music, where the melodies had a broad and a line that embodied the deep meaning of the word "cantabile", clearly sinking roots in bel canto. A time when songs jukebox took the best from the point of view of harmonic and rhythmic, international suggestions that in those years – especially the 50's and 60's – grew and gathered popular success in America, from vocal jazz to bossa nova . There is talk of songs written by Gino Paoli, Domenico Modugno Carlo Alberto Rossi, linked to the voices of interpreters as Mina, Ornella Vanoni or Jula De Palma, with some jumps much further back, to the Neapolitan song. This is the repertoire proposed by Michela Lombardi and Ugo Bongianni with their concert "Italian Jazz Standards", with a title that emphasizes the prevalence, in the ladder of the chosen pieces, typically related to jazz times (swing, bossa, jazzwaltz) and harmonies and improvisational jazz style spaces.
