Swing Time B.B.Orkestra and Le Signorine - Trio Vocale Italiano, with arrangements and direction by Umberto Aucone, for the final evening of the season, will offer the Benevento public an effervescent dip into the wonderful golden years of Swing, with a delicious selection among the most beautiful and memorable compositions of the 1900s that have ever been written for a Big Band, by the sacred monsters of jazz, who have made the history of world music, from "In The Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller, to the Tribute to Duke Ellington, to Scotty Morris' “Go Daddy o”.

The program will then take us for a walk among the mythical, unforgettable Italian songs that were listened to on the radio between the first post-war period and the 1950s: Tulipan and Baciami piccina by Luigi Astore, Il penguin in love and Maramao because you died by Mario Advice, Pippo doesn't know and A kiss at midnight by Gorni Kramer, Carina by Corrado Lojacono, Little serenade by Gianni Ferrio, But the legs, Don't forget my words and I want to live like this by Giovanni D'Anzi, In the blue painted blue by Migliacci - Modugno, and finally the universal masterpiece, Somewhere over the rainbow by Harold Arlen, brought to global success by Judy Garland in 1939 in the film The Wizard of Oz.
An evening of great music under the stars, for an early summer not to be missed, which will, as always, be opened by an interesting scientific-popular dissertation entitled Transitions by Filippo de Rossi.
