On Stage - 18

It looks like jazz, but it does not sound like jazz.
Glauco Zuppiroli is a fine and elegant double bass player. I took this shot while he was playing in the band of Vinicio Capossela, whose music touches jazz sometimes, but more often visits latin rhythms and melodies, with remarkable pop digressions.
That night in the gardens of Venaria Royal Palace, near Turin, was a very particular night. Calexico joined Vinicio Capossela and the two bands played together for the whole show. Fifteen musicians on the stage. It could be a mess, instead it was perfection, like they had been one single band since ever.
Mr. Zuppiroli, with his unique style and look, was a prominent character indeed.

By the way, to discover some amazing (though absolutely casual) features of this shot, noticed by ~art176, please see On Stage 18 and Fibonacci.
