Gianluca Petrella Cosmic Band
„Coming Tomorrow - Part 1“

Italy
Austria premiere

An intergalactic orchestra will land this year at the Jazz festival in Saalfelden. Indeed, the musicians are not from that far away - all come from the south-eastern region of Italy. What they bring with them in sound material, presents an imaginary journey through the cosmos, which is also reflected in the name of the band. The leader Gianluca Petrella, a trombonist, is a winner of the "Top Jazz" prize awarded by the Italian magazine "Musica Jazz", and has also now been nominated for the "Italian Jazz Award".
