The Ascona Big Band comes back featuring singer Olivia Lanvin
In this year, dedicated to the great orchestras and big bands, the Ascona Big Band could not be missed at JazzAscona. The group had already performed at the festival several years ago and returns with singer Olivia Lanvin, who’s well known to the Ascona audience.
Founded in 1985 and directed since 2015 by Paolo Cervetti, a talented trombonist and expert conductor, the big band mainly plays a classic swing repertoire, but also features some funky, latin and rocking tunes.
