Experience Francesco Cigna and his GUITAROLOGY TRIO - "A Guitar Tribute to Charlie Parker" during Copehagen Jazz Festival 2025.

Experience Parker’s groundbreaking compositions reimagined through the unique lens of the classic organ trio—where guitar, Hammond organ, and drums come together in warm, swinging harmony. Cigna’s melodic playing and buttery tone lead the way, supported by the deep grooves of Jacob Broholm on organ and the dynamic drumming of Thomas Præstegård.

Charlie Parker, also known as "Bird", was one of the most influential figures in jazz history.

It will be a concert experience that both pays homage to the past and illuminates the enduring influence that Charlie Parker has had on music.

"Francesco Cigna and Spreckelsen's many excellent solos are the attraction of the release. Both are rhythmically very secure, and they manage to introduce and work with different motivic material with a well-developed wealth of ideas. In short - it swings!" - Martin Lutz, Jazzstjerner
