Thanks to Gegè Telesforo the great jazz and blues returned to Carbonia last night. The multi-instrumentalist, in fact, was the star of a wonderful concert at the theater in Piazza Marmilla as part of the decades-long review "On the border between Sardinia and jazz" of which Carbonia has been a stable component for some years now.
Gegè Telesforo's ensemble, with keyboards, trumpet, sax, electric guitar and drums, provided a fantastic performance thanks to a series of encores, projecting the coal city into the world of top quality jazz and blues for one evening.
There was no shortage of performances under the banner of Scat , the technique of which Telesforo, 61, is one of the greatest exponents in the world and which he had already begun to reveal towards the end of the 1980s when he made his debut with Renzo Arbore in the cult show "Those of the night".
No less than 700 people attended the concert yesterday enraptured by the virtuosity of Telesforo and its musicians.
