MIJF: Federico Casagrande (Italy)
“An understated gem of European chamber-jazz” – Irish Times
Italian jazz guitarist and “six-string poet” (JazzNews) Federico Casagrande started honing his craft at an early age and has since flourished into one of the singular voices in contemporary guitar.
With an impressive 18 records under his belt, Casagrande has toured extensively throughout Europe and the rest of the world, performing his therapeutic and captivating music at prestigious festivals such as NYC Winter Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival and many more.
In 2020, he streamed in from Italy to present a mesmeric solo guitar set as part of MIJF’s These Digital Times festival, and now this star of European jazz makes his in-person Melbourne International Jazz Festival debut.
