The chemical wave !
The Chemical Brothers - Italia Wave
Well, the festival still have to "grow" … In Arezzo was something else, but I'm sure next year will already better. We were there mainly for the Chemical Brothers but we also got some other cool artists like Bugo and Sud Sound System.
We also went at the Elettrowave, the electronic side of the festival. The location couldn't be better: an old fortress by the sea !

See you next year Livorno !
PS : Someone told me that the tower of the "Fortezza Vecchia" in Livorno is taller than the tower of Pisa. Is it true ?
Marcus Miller – EstivalJazz 2008
Marcus Miller - Estivaljazz '08 - Lugano - Picture by Andrea Perotti via Flickr
Yesterday I went up to Chiasso directly after work, there I met Sma and we went together to Lugano to see Marcus Miller playing at Estivaljazz 2008.
Great show, we also managed to sit in front of the stage. The clarinet/saxophone player on the left was my hero, he was moving like a spring while blowing like hell and was the only one who could compete with Miller. Alex Han his name, and 20 his age !
So, if you pass by Lugano the first weekend of July don't forget about the EstivalJazz !
PS: As usual I didn't have any camera with me. I took the picture from Flickr, here the complete gallery ยป –

A night at Blue Note
Gream Flower
On the pic you can see Greame, a friend of my mate Ludovica. He was playing yesterday at the Blue Note here in Milano in the band of Kyle Eastwood.
That's why me, Ludo and 2 more friends were there.
Greame is a nice and really easygoing guy, you can get a more info about him here.
He said that he is coming back to Milano for Xmas … let's wait and see …
Well, once more, thank you Greame for the free tickets !
