Music legend Romano takes Salon İKSV stage

Music legend Romano takes Salon İKSV stage

January 21-22
Istanbul’s Salon İKSV will host a French musical legend this month when Aldo Romano comes to the city for a two-day stop.
Romano began his musical journey in the late-1950s in Paris and accompanied many world-renowned soloists at Paris jazz clubs such as Chat Qui Pêche and the Caméléon during the 1960s. In the 1970s he worked together with musicians such as François Jeanneu, Jean-François Jenny-Clark, Michel Graillier, and Henri Texier.
Also a consummate guitarist, Romano formed his own rock band during the same decade. In the 1980s, he established the remarkable “Italian Quartet,” with Paolo Fresu, Franco D'Andrea and Furio Di Castri. From the Emmanuel Bex Trio to the Michel Bénita Quartet, Romano has pursued but a single chimera: freeing himself from all established patterns and exploring different possibilities of jazz from rock to Latin-American compositions and operatic arias.
Throughout his successful career of almost half a century, Romano has never ceased to evolve, opening himself to the world and setting himself new challenges. The performance is a must-see.
Tickets cost 35 to 50 Turkish Liras and doors open at 9:30 p.m.
