May 19 – Many artists from around the world are gathering for the Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York. The event will also feature Italy thanks to the participation of Alberto Pizzo, who will perform at the Highline Ballroom alongside other 150 musicians, including Aretha Franklin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Michael Bolton, Gato Barbieri, Danilo Perez and Joe Lovano.
