The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and MIdJ – the Italian Jazz Musicians Association have announced the groups selected by the evaluation panel for the latest edition of the project “OltreConfine – Italian Jazz Around the World”. The project aims to promote and raise the international profile of contemporary Italian jazz music. The initiative seeks to support Italian jazz artists in performing at leading international festivals, clubs and cultural venues by covering some or all of the costs associated with concerts, workshops, courses and other activities.
The evaluation panel comprised Edu Ribeiro (Brazilian drummer and composer, winner of a Grammy Award and a Latin Grammy Award), Sara Serpa (Portuguese jazz singer and composer based in New York, lecturer at The New School in New York and co-founder of Mutual Mentorship for Musicians (M³)), and Javier Girotto (Argentinian-born saxophonist, flautist and composer who has acquired Italian citizenship).
