After the very miserable, wet start to celebrations this year (article here) it came as a cheery surprise winding down from the Duomo through the narrow streets of Barga Vecchia to find the door of the Barga Jazz Club invitingly wide open and some great music streaming out into the street. It might be damp and miserable outside but inside it was a different world - a little steamy, but nevertheless the party was here.
Instead of setting up a series of musical events which coincided with people eating their traditional New Years Eve meal, the organisers of the club this year came up with a real winner. The New Years Eve Capodanno evening which started at 11. 15 p.m and went on into the very small hours of the new decade.
This meant that people arrived to celebrate after their meal and the club was full to bursting and what a mixed musical menu it was on offer this evening.
The Burning Room (almost) started things off with their blues inspired music with the voice of ever resourceful Sara Bergamini leading the way. The burning room (almost) because they were missing their guitarist Lorenzo Marianelli but in the jazz club this evening there were many musicians ready and willing to get up and give a hand. Right through the evening there was a constant changing procession of musicians joining and leaving the stage.
