Theater
His debut was called 'Rebirth' and it saw the emergence of one of the most exciting young bassist/composers on the European scene, but also one of the most settled and individual trios on the circuit. Now Jacopo Ferrazza, again working with guitarist Stefano Carbonelli and drummer Valerio Vantaggio, demonstrates his quality with a new set of original compositions called 'Theater'. They range between relatively orthodox jazz and more formal structures that recall aspects of classical trio writing. In mood they are impressively varied. In execution, they are uniformly but never dully precise and disciplined.

What is the difference between epic theater and classical theater?
Epic theater and classical theater are two distinct styles of theater with different approaches to storytelling and performance. Classical theater, such as Greek or Shakespearean drama, typically focuses on the portrayal of universal human experiences and emotions through the use of heightened language, dramatic conflict, and a clear narrative structure. In contrast, epic theater, developed by playwright Bertolt Brecht, seeks to provoke critical thinking and social awareness by breaking the illusion of reality and encouraging the audience to engage in a more analytical and reflective way. Epic theater often incorporates techniques such as direct address, non-linear storytelling, and the use of placards or projections to disrupt the traditional theatrical experience.
