After spending Forrest’s last day in Milan running errands, eating gelato and having a final apperetivo, I had every intention of heading home for some much needed sleep. As I walked through the door however, I got a message telling me that my new Italian friends were going to a jazz concert, and would be by to pick me up at 9:30. Why not. So sure enough, I hopped into a car and off we went….to Switzerland. We drove the 45 minutes to The Lugano Jazz Festival listening to classic Micheal Jackson, Bob Dylan impersonations and french hip hop. Entertaining to say the least.
We arrived to an afro-fab beat, a packed square, beers and a dance party. The highlight was La Notte de la Tarranta that played with former Police drummer Stewart Copeland – 17 musicians on stage at once. All beat, base, melody and (my favourite) tambourine. Madness.
