Arriving at its third and final week of programming, the 2026 edition of the Padova Jazz Festival will take place at the Teatro Verdi, which will host the three most prestigious evenings of the event.
The first to take the stage at the Verdi, Thursday, November 5 at 9:00 p.m., will be the singer Kurt Elling and the Yellowjackets, who together will pay tribute to the music of Weather Report. The lineup will feature Russell Ferrante on keyboards, Bob Mintzer on sax, Dane Alderson on bass, and Marcus Finnie on drums.
In the afternoon, to warm up the atmosphere with some groove-heavy jazz, the organist Vito Di Modugno will perform at 6:30 p.m. at the Ridotto of the Teatro Verdi in a quartet with Michele Carrabba on sax, Pietro Condorelli on guitar, and Massimo Manzi on drums.
Radio Cafè, the festival’s media partner, will be present at the Teatro Verdi with a setup to produce and broadcast live the program “Il Jazzofono” from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
