Alla Boara
Saturday, August 19, at 7:30 PM
Making their NJ and Back Deck debut, Alla Boara brings a
contemporary jazz sensibility to the ancient folk music of Italy! Alla
Boara seeks to bring recognition and new life to Italy’s diverse
history of regional folk music. Their modern arrangements of
near-extinct folk songs are variously surprising, playful, mournful,
tender, and bewitching. Alla Boara’s dynamic work aims to inspire
audiences of all ethnic heritages to treasure their musical roots and
consider historical songs’ contemporary cultural relevance.

Hear Alla Boara sing a Calabrian fishing chant!
The vision of drummer and composer Anthony Taddeo, Alla
Boara also features vocalist Amanda Powell (Apollo’s Fire), guitarist
Dan Bruce, trumpeter Tommy Lehman, bassist Ian Kinnaman, and
accordionist and keyboardist Clay Colley. Currently touring their first
record, Le Tre Sorelle, Alla Boara has received critical acclaim
for its originality and accessibility. It was recently featured
in NPR’s “Shuffle”, SWR2 in
Germany, All About Jazz, Jazz Weekly, and was
predicted to have a bright future by Cleveland Magazine.
