Stefano Solani con A.L.I. a Tokyo

A.L.I. (associazione liberi improvvisatori), nasce dall’esigenza di coniugare la combustione creativa presente nell’improvvisazione e condotta su percorsi free o modali, con la composizione e l’arrangiamento istantaneo del jazz.

La formazione, guidata dal sassofonista e compositore Alfredo Ponissi, comprendente Stefano Solani al contrabbasso e Paolo Franciscone alla batteria e alle percussioni.


Il 20 Maggio 2007, per la manifestazione “Primavera Italiana 2007”, su invito espresso dall’Istituto Italiano di Cultura a Tokyo e con il contributo della Regione Piemonte, presso l’Arena di Roppongi Hill a Tokyo, prestigiosa sede di oltre 300 eventi culturali, Alfredo Ponissi presenta “Le Montagne, Il Fiume, Le Città”, progetto dedicato al Piemonte, al percorso del suo grande fiume, il Po, e alle sue città.
