Italian pianist Emiliano D'Auria is a multi-instrumentalist with a wide range of jazz. He started learning the piano at the age of eight, influenced by his father, who was also a musician. In Riga, he will perform as part of a quintet, primarily offering a trip to the Norwegian islands, where his latest, fifth album First Rain.
“The lyrism of Aquino’s trumpet, the melodic pianism of D’Auria’s piano, the certainty and the perfect intonation of Miranda’s double bass together with the genuine, free approach of Baron’s improvisation are all distinctive and referable traits that lead back to the single elements which once mixed together magically transform into a common sound.” - jazz-jazz.com
The intimate atmosphere of Latvian Radio Studio 1 is the perfect place to enjoy this slightly mystical journey, as Emiliano has always emphasized that he pays special attention to the mood of the specific place and moment, finding close musical contact with the audience.
