The J.A.O. project celebrates jazz accordion through arrangements and compositions inspired by great jazz accordionists and the spirit of African-American big bands, in search of an original sound language.

Conducted by Renzo Ruggieri, the ensemble pairs a rhythm section (piano, double bass, drums) with several accordion sections, giving center stage to young jazz accordionists — including students from the jazz accordion class at the “Gaetano Braga” Conservatory in Teramo. A true artistic workshop, making its absolute debut at PIF 2026.
