Snodo, the food & drink soul of OGR Torino, becomes the stage for OGR Jazz Night. Conceived by OGR in collaboration with Indiependence and the artistic direction of Sergio Di Gennaro, the new event will present the best of contemporary jazz through live concerts and jam sessions.

Architettura industriale e gusto cosmopolita creano la cornice ideale per una serata in cui jazz e alta cucina trovano l’equilibrio perfetto. È un viaggio sensoriale, in cui assaporare piatti raffinati firmati dallo chef Raffaele Amitrano e degustare cocktail che, con la mixology, diventano arte, in un’atmosfera di note avvolgenti. 

Industrial architecture and cosmopolitan taste create the ideal setting for an evening in which jazz and haute cuisine find the perfect balance. It is a sensory journey, to savor refined dishes signed by chef Raffaele Amitrano and cocktails that mixology transforms into art, in an atmosphere of embracing notes.

Tuesday, October 29, 9.30 pm, the first night is with Emanuele Cisi, one of the greatest saxophonists of Italian jazz who will present a personal tribute to the jazz tradition not forgetting to offer some original compositions in a quartet with Sergio Di Gennaro on piano, Aldo Zunino on double bass, and Adam Pache on drums.

The next two OGR Jazz Night dates to mark in your calendar: November 26 and December 10.
