Mary Osborne Par Katia Schiavone

| Jazz, standards

Through this trio project, Italian guitarist Katia Schiavone pays tribute to American guitarist Mary Osborne, a major figure in bebop and a pioneer who has long remained in the shadow of jazz history. Active on the New York scene in the 1940s and 1950s, Osborne made her mark with incisive energy, great improvisational freedom, and powerful swing, alongside musicians such as Art Tatum, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, etc.
Surrounded by Fabien Marcoz on double bass and Philippe Soirat on drums, Katia Schiavone revisits this legacy through a repertoire inspired by bebop, while placing it in a broader approach of rediscovering past female jazz musicians, often overlooked despite their essential role in the evolution of this music.
This concert is both a tribute and an act of transmission: to make these voices heard, reactivate their creative power, and affirm, in the present, a musical and artistic continuity carried by the trio.
