He has been called “the Frank Sinatra of tenor sax”. Harry Allen is certainly one of the most important saxophonists in the world in the jazz scene, as the legendary Stan Getz recognized, and as demonstrated by the over 70 albums published and the dozens of prestigious collaborations also with pop artists. The American musician has chosen the Teatro Verdi in Sassari to begin his new European tour. The appointment is for Wednesday at 7:30 pm.

Accompanying Allen on stage will be the guitarist from Porto Torres Simone Faedda , who recorded the album Watering The Roots with Allen in 2020; the double bass player from Molise Emanuele Venezia ; the drummer from Sassari Bruno Brozzu .

The exceptional event inaugurates the Jazz “Spring Edition” program of the Contrasti 2025 International Festival , organized by the Contrapunctum cultural association in collaboration with Ars Aurelia and the San Domenico – Caniga volunteer cultural association.
