A Moment of Jazz History at the Archiduc
Throwback to Sunday, March 4, 2007, at Round About Five, where a memorable concert took place with the late Paolo Radoni.
In this photo, Michaël Blass, Gino Latucca, and Alec Debusschère—one of the artists behind the event poster—stand in front of their work, a tribute to that evening of jazz.
The Archiduc has collaborated with various graphic designers and artists to create posters for these live sessions. Many of them are displayed on the second floor of the Archiduc, showcasing the intersection of jazz and visual art.
Moments like these show the strong connection between music and art, and remind us of the legacy left by the musicians who have played at the Archiduc.
Jazz lives on, and so do the memories.
