Carini Jazz Festival (Summer Edition)

Carini Jazz Festival 2025

The 2025 summer edition of the Carini Jazz Festival was held on July 25 and 26, 2025 in the courtyard of the Carini Castle (PA), with concerts starting at 9:30 PM. The festival, directed by Maestro Toti Cannistraro and produced by Jonathan Livingston ODV, offered two high-profile evenings.

On July 25, the Roberto Gatto Quartet opened the event, led by one of the most appreciated drummers on the Italian and international scene, with Alessandro Presti on trumpet, Alfonso Santimone on piano, and Gabriele Evangelista on double bass, performing original tracks and revisited standards. On July 26, it was the turn of the Hermon Mehari Quintet, with trumpeter Hermon Mehari joined by Peter Schlamb, Alessandro Lanzoni, Luca Fattorini, and Zac Morrow, in a repertoire of original modern jazz compositions. The entrance ticket was 9 euros. The event then extended with the "Jazz Reloaded" section dedicated to emerging talents, with events in other locations in the Carini territory and province at the beginning of August.
