After the extraordinary success of Jazz Broadway 2011, the great gala dedicated to swing music returns to Milan, in a new dress and a new concept: bringing together the best talents on the international scene in Milan. Together they will tell an extraordinary era for swing: the transition from Broadway musicals to the great musical themes of Hollywood films.

The gala reads in an original way the American song book of the 30s and 40s through a path that intertwines the history of music, costume and vintage style, swing dances and extraordinary composers who in their time were great innovators.

80 years old and a career spanning 60 years: Paolo Tomelleri, rewarded at last year’s festival for his exceptional contribution to the development of jazz in Italy, is a legendary musician from the Milano scene. With experience also as a writer of theater and film music, he is a successful soloist and orchestra director who has collaborated with Enzo Jannacci for over thirty years (as well as with Ornella Vanoni, Giorgio Gaber, and Adriano Celentano) and with famous jazzists such as Tony Scott, Joe Venuti, Jimmy McPartland, Clark Terry, Bill Coleman, or Phil Woods.
