Dolomiti Ski Jazz - Darius and Friends

From 4th to 12th March, the "jazz track" crosses the valleys of Fassa and Fiemme with concerts on the terraces of the refuges, in clubs, theatres and squares.

From Canazei to Cavalese, all the way to Cembra: the Dolomiti Ski Jazz, scheduled from 4th to 12th March, expands again this year offering as many as 25 concerts. Warm rhythms such as jazz, but also blues, funk and Latin music will create thrilling contrasts with the snow-covered scenery of the Dolomites. Artists from the international scene will perform in the evenings in the clubs and theatres of the villages, while during the day they will take to the mountains, on the terraces of the mountain huts, some of which can also be reached by non-skiers. The festival will move day after day from one slope to another, from the Belvedere ski area in Canazei to the Alpe Cermis in Cavalese.

Dolomiti Ski Jazz: Darius & Friends - Bar apres-ski International - Canazei, Sunday 5 March at 4.00 p.m.

Programme: Dario Defrancesco is without doubt the most active and appreciated singer and entertainer in the Fiemme and Fassa valleys. Active for over twenty years on the regional music scene, he is the worthy representative of local musicians for this 25th edition of Dolomiti Ski Jazz. Flanked by a group of friends, some of the most experienced and versatile instrumentalists, he will present a repertoire of well-known songs drawn from his endless repertoire of covers and evergreens, ranging with unbridled ease between musical genres. His undoubted vocal talents will confront the great hits of James Taylor, Sting, Pino Daniele, John Mayer, Steve Wonder, supported by the energetic and imaginative rhythmic and harmonic textures of his band.

Music band: Dario Defrancesco (vocals), Matteo Rossetto (guitar), Mick Casciaro (keyboards), Michele Bazzanella (bass), Enrico Tommasini (drums).

The concert is free of charge. Given the limited number of parking spaces, it is advisable to reach the venue on foot (closest car park is the Dòlaondes Aquatic Centre).
