The wealth of the new program will involve in fact the main theaters in the city (the Alighieri and the Rasi) and the Hall Square and the Rebirth Cisim of Lido Adriano, who will host "Ravenna 40th Jazz Club", or alternative listening more casual compared to the evenings in the theater. In addition, a significant number of rooms in the city center will host the daily afternoon concerts 'Aperitifs': Ten guitarists engaged in as many performances only.

The group of seven elements led by the most famous of Cuban pianists is a fireball rhythmic, one of the most brilliant formations of the Latin jazz today.

Impetuous protagonist of the history of jazz of the sixties with John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders is still a saxophonist of dazzling intensity of expression.
