On the occasion of the 10th Annual Angel City Jazz Festival (Oct. 1 – 15, 2017), a special performance by Marco Cappelli (guitar) and Ken Filiano (bass) dedicated to jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk.
Born in Naples – Italy, MARCO CAPPELLI studied classical guitar at the Conservatorio di S. Cecilia in Rome. He has lead since the mid 90s an extraordinary artistic path, becoming familiar with rigorous written music as well with free improvisation languages: currently Marco Cappelli works as an interpreter of contemporary music, as a side musician for other artists’ projects, as well as a composer and a band leader and with his original music.
Ken Filiano performs throughout the world, playing and recording with leading artists in jazz, spontaneous improvisation, classical, world/ethnic, and interdisciplinary performance, fusing the rich traditions of the double bass with his own seemingly limitless inventiveness.
