CUBO LIVE – places, ideas, voices, events – is a series of live shows promoted by CUBO, the corporate museum of the Unipol Group, throughout Italy in especially picturesque locations.
The historic location of the Gardens of Piazza Viera de Mello in Bologna will feature a range of Italian song-writing, jazz and classical music. All those curious, passionate and enjoy listening to music in the company of others can spend summer evenings under Bologna's sky.
With a career spanning five decades and a discography that includes twenty eclectic and innovative recordings and numerous Grammy nominations, Mike Stern has established himself as one of the leading jazz and fusion guitarists and composers of his generation. Rising to international fame when he worked with the Miles Davis band in the eighties, he also played with Blood Sweet & Tears, Billy Cobham, Joe Henderson, Michael and Randy Breker, Jaco Pastorius, and many others. Mike Stern is one of those rare guitar virtuosos whose extraordinary technical expertise does not make a dent in his creativity, expressiveness and musical taste. He is now coming to Bologna with his band of musicians who play well together, a sort of all-star group of American jazz masters, with whom he will perform the repertoire from his latest album Echoes and other Songs.
In collaboration with Bologna Jazz Festival.
The show is part of Bologna Estate 2025, the programme of activities promoted and coordinated by the Municipality of Bologna and the Metropolitan City of Bologna - Bologna-Modena Tourism Territory.
In case of bad weather, the show will take place at the Unipol Auditorium Enea Mazzoli, via Stalingrado 37.
