Elio Baldi Cantù Jazz Trio and Camerata Ducale di Parma

Cellist Paolo Manfrin conceived the project, and pianist Elio Baldi Cantù developed it for his trio and the Camerata Ducale string quartet.

The group gives Vivaldi’s A-minor Concerto a three-movement jazz setting, then sends Corelli’s La follia through blue, bossa, odd-time and tango variations.
