In this Doubles second edition, we highlight three novelties:
. The inclusion of foreground musicians in the European and international jazz scene, namely the pianists Andrea Pozza (former member of Enrico Rava Quintet) and Kirk Lightsey (he played with Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker), and the saxophonist Peter King (one of the most remarkable heirs of Charlie Parker’s style and sonority);
. The inclusion of Brazilian and Norwegian musicians, countries represented for the first time in this cycle;
. A clear bet in piano and double bass, preserving although the regular presence of vocals.
