Music Aperitivo: Peperoncino Jazz Festival: Stefano Battaglia Band (TICKETED)

Rizzoli Music Aperitivo and Mondo Jazz are thrilled to renew their partnership with the Peperoncino Jazz Festival with a special appearance by the Stefano Battaglia Band, a dynamic ensemble connecting the Italian and New York jazz scenes, celebrating the release of their new album, One Mile Away. The band features an outstanding lineup: Daniele Germani (saxophone), Daniel Sky (trumpet), Emanuele Filippi (piano), and Avery Logan (drums).

One Mile Away is an adventurous and deeply cinematic journey through shifting musical landscapes — from explosive rhythmic turns and free-form explorations to richly melodic passages charged with emotional immediacy. Rooted in the restless energy of New York while shaped by the lyricism and imagination of the Italian jazz tradition, the music moves with urgency, surprise, and narrative drive. The result is a fresh, vibrant sound world where compositional sophistication meets fearless improvisation.

THE PEPERONCINO JAZZ FESTIVAL is an itinerant musical fair that for 25 years has been uniting countless local municipalities in the Italian region of Calabria, strengthening the ties between local identity, culture and sustainable tourism. Continuing a well-established tradition, this year the festival is back to New York for its “New York Sessions” bringing together the best of the New York and the Italian jazz scenes.
