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 » –

Like the last 4 years, few days ago, I was in Clusone for the Estate di S.Martino, I love this village and the feeling you get during the happening. Lovely wine, traditional food and true friends … need more to be happy ?

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 !

Padova is, with Siena, the city I like most in Italy.

Things you can't miss :

Caffè Pedrocchi | The building and the coffee with cold mint cream and cacao
Spritz | A kind of lite Negroni, loved by girls. Aperol, seltz and Spumante.
Wednesday night in Piazza delle Erbe
Scrovegni Chapel | Giotto's Masterpiece

And if after have cicled all day and have had a long night-party the day after you wanna relax, have a good bath at the Terme preistoriche hot open-air bath opened till midnight and more.

The sugar | A small but cool bar in Barcelona
Cadaques | Not too much life not too less
Jamon serrano | Not good as the Parma Ham but …
Madrid and Barcelona | Of course
