The jazz group Travel Collective tours India from July 16 to 25, offering a genuine musical journey around the world. The program blends world music, pop, classical music, and, above all, celebrates jazz, creating a unique sonic experience.
Marco Vezzoso (trumpet) and Alessandro Collina (piano), who have already captivated audiences with their previous album of original compositions written in collaboration, have decided to continue on this successful path by forming an artist collective called TRAVEL – which is also the title of their debut album.
