tuscany: a journey for the senses

Acoustic Jazz


July 3-9, 2010

This event has now ended.

Be entertained in the evening by this group of talented musicians who play a blend of acoutistic jazz, swing, and folk music with bluegrass instrumentation. If evenings at La Palazzina can be any more relaxing than they currently are, Bill, George, Paul, and Gordon will make it so. These wicked men will play for you while you sip your evening aperitif. Then their music will waft through the dining room doors while you enjoy one of Eliana's delicious repasts. After your dinner, you may dance through the evening to your (sweet)heart's content.

The Wicked Pickers have an original and refreshing sound that explores the boundary between  jazz and acoustic music. The material consists of both standards and original compositions, and crosses from jazz to swing with flavors of folk and bluegrass mixed in.
"The Wicked Pickers present a wonderfully eclectic blend of acoustic  jazz, swing and folk with bluegrass instrumentation; a joyful sound reminiscent of the work of Darol Angor's Montreaux Group."
- Carol Gyurina, Melrose Arts and Cultural Association
