An Italian Story - From the Roots to Jazz Music The Italian Mandolin rediscovers its overseas descendent. The American Mandolin rediscovers its origins. From the purest folk tradition, through baroque and classica music, 100 years ago the instrument emigrates toward new frontiers, it meets cultures, it changes, it creates new musical genres. Jethro Burns, legendary jazz player, becomes a tv star (Homer & Jethro) and passes the baton to his young spiritual heir Don Stiernberg, here with us today. Carlo Aonzo depicts his instrument, the Story of an Italian. A great thanks to the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago for their generous support of this event. Tickets here:
