First date of 2025 for OGR Jazz Night with a great guest: on January 28 at 9.30 pm, on the Snodo stage, Ares Tavolazzi, Italy's most in-demand double bassist, who will perform alongside drummer Enzo Zirilli and pianist Sergio Di Gennaro, formerly comrades in the Four Voices with Flavio Boltro. The trio is working on their new record and will offer an exclusive preview of it at OGR Torino with a tailored repertoire written especially for the lineup by Di Gennaro, the group's leading pianist and composer.

OGR Jazz Night is the event conceived by OGR in collaboration with Indiependence and the artistic direction of Sergio Di Gennaro, which presents the best of contemporary jazz between live concerts and jam sessions, transforming Snodo, the food & drink soul of OGR, into a sophisticated and cosmopolitan stage. The night when jazz and haute cuisine find the perfect balance, for a sensory journey between refined dishes and cocktails that become art with mixology, in an atmosphere of enveloping notes.
