Secret Window Acoustic Trio

Project

ABOUT THE PROJECT

A journey through music and mental images in the stories of this charming trio. Their over-30-year careers gather together in a project that has as common language a contemporary jazz style, with a strong emotional call. In a warm and intimate night time atmosphere the emphasis of the stories is very clear in the way modern musical elements interlace with ancient ones. The trio is composed by three strong artistic personalities born in a beautiful island, Sardinia, which mark remains strong in their souls: Enzo Favata, Salvatore Maiore and Marcello Peghin. The repertoire is a sound voyage through different musical worlds, passing from Brazil in his most rarefied and lunar face, Northern Europe, Sardinia, Persia and some of the accents on Rural Metheny… the rest is a discovery.
