Built on countless gigs and long stretches on the road, this trio has developed a deep, almost instinctive connection. Guitar, bass, and drums move as one—flexible, responsive, and grounded in a shared sense of time and feel. There’s no excess, no overstatement—just focused interplay, strong identity, and the kind of trust that only comes from playing together again and again.
Francesco Cigna is a highly accomplished jazz guitarist known for his lyrical tone, dynamic improvisations, and deep connection to both jazz tradition and its evolution. His three critically acclaimed albums—Rebop Union (2007), Dedication (2012), and Cosmic Space Quartet (2021)—showcase his ability to blend modern and classic jazz elements with a distinct musical voice.
His playing has earned praise for its musicality and melodic depth:

"Dedication opens with Francesco Cigna’s masterful composition, Silvertrust. The piece beautifully showcases not only Cigna’s brilliance as a composer but also his effortless command as a guitarist – and, for that matter, Erik von Spreckelsen’s vibrant musicianship. Dedication is pure joy in playing." – Ivan Rod, GAFFA
"The many brilliant solos by Cigna and Spreckelsen are the highlight of this release. Both display impeccable rhythmic precision and a refined ability to introduce and develop thematic material with great creativity. In short—it swings!" – Martin Lutz, Jazzstjerner
Cigna has collaborated with internationally renowned musicians such as Erik von Spreckelsen, Bob Rockwell, Adam Nussbaum, and Tomas Franck. His performances have taken him across Europe, the USA, and Japan, making him a dynamic presence on both the Danish and international jazz scenes.
A versatile musician, he moves effortlessly between swing, bebop, and more experimental jazz expressions, always maintaining a strong artistic identity. Whether composing intricate jazz pieces or delivering deeply expressive improvisations, Cigna’s music reflects both technical mastery and a deep passion for the art form.
This evening he performs with his trio featuring Rômulo Duarte on bass and Jacob Melchior on drums. With hundreds of performances each year, the three have developed an exceptionally tight and natural musical connection.
