Jazz from the South: Francesca Tandoi Trio

Göteborgs Symfoniker

Francesca Tandoi – pianist, singer, composer and bandleader – is one of the most brilliant artists of the jazz scene in recent years. She has collaborated with important musicians but has dedicated herself to the trio over the last few years. Her trio performances are an explosion of swing in which energy, musicality and elegance merge (not to mention her excellent mastery of technique). This formula allows her great freedom and a connection with the tradition of great jazz pianists.

Piano and guitar are usually considered alternative instruments. However, some encounters between pianists and guitarists have remained in history (Bill Evans and Jim Hall, Brad Mehldau and Pat Metheny). Such encounters produced exciting results. This all-female piano-guitar duo is performed by brilliant musicians Francesca Tandoi and Eleonora Strino, who are the protagonists of the new Italian and European jazz scene. Tandoi is a talented musician from Rome, a big fan of Oscar Peterson and the greatest virtuoso swinging piano players. She started her career studying classical music and then discovered her vocation for jazz. She moved to the Netherlands in 2009, where she studied at prestigious academic institutions such as the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and achieved her first success. Her artistic path belongs to the glorious tradition of pianists-vocalists. Eleonora Strino has been acclaimed as a breath of novelty in a setting that had been waiting for a guitarist like her: she is inspired, musically cultured and technically prepared. She studied guitar as a teenager. After listening to Jim Hall on his famous record in duo with Bill Evans, she knew she wanted to become a jazz guitarist. Her career has been swift.
