"The Heart of Jazz is a project that came to life during a particular historical contingency, that of the first lockdown from Covid-19, but is part of the digital development plan that our company has already undertaken in 2019 ”Says Andrea De Micheli, President and CEO of Casta Diva Group, the company that owns Blue Note Milano. “The pandemic risked eliminating social relations, but thanks to technology we can continue to be in contact with people and share important moments like this. It is not the same thing, of course: live music is irreplaceable, but the excellent quality of the video footage and audio recorded at the Blue Note produce an emotion as close as possible to "the real thing". The first concert of The Heart Jazz series, which saw Paolo Fresu play in a Blue Note inaccessible to the public in a single evening, totaled double the number of spectators hosted by the venue in an entire year, demonstrating the visceral need that people had in that moment to share a musical experience. The entertainment sector has nothing futile: it is a psychological machine that injects positive energy into the social and economic system of our community and now more than ever we all need it ".

We had already given signs of trust and hope by reopening in September with a rich and high-level programming and organizing the Jazzmi festival with Ponderosa and Teatro dell'Arte, but we want to continue to transmit optimism towards the future with this important project, which allows us to stay close to our audience and give this Christmas a show that hits the listener's heart directly ”.
