Italian jazz music developments

Overview

The Italian jazz scene saw recent activity through new musical releases and upcoming festival programming.

In late July 2026, vocalist Giuditta Franco released the digital album ‘Dust’, featuring a group of musicians including pianist Guglielmo Santimone. During the same period, the all-female trio H3R performed in Civitanova as part of the ‘Fuori dal Guscio’ jazz series, an event aimed at increasing visibility for women in the genre.

Looking toward September 2026, the thirteenth edition of the Francavilla è Jazz festival is scheduled to take place in Francavilla Fontana, Brindisi. Directed by Alfredo Iaia, the festival will host various international performers, including the Eddie Gomez Italian Quartet and the Pat Bianchi Quartet, concluding with a performance by the Perico Sambeat Group.
