Peppi Guggenheim Berlin Live Concert: Black Hand Jazz Trio

Black Hand is a Creative Commons production by Paolo Pavan: original jazz compositions, entirely self-produced. “Black Hand is the soul that has always fueled my musical research, that of Afro-American musicians. It represents precisely that hand, an expression of that free music, devoid of constraints, mental schemes, styles and clichès, almost an escape route from the prison of form. The “Black Hand Trio” jazz trio was born in 2021. A musical creative laboratory with an ever-evolving repertoire.

The musicians:
Paolo Pavan: piano
Andrea Pochesce: double bass
Pasquale Cataldi: drums
