European Jazz’s Cool is an innovative course of advanced musical training in jazz of European significance devised by Saint Louis; a full immersion for professional and artistic development in a broad international recording and concert context.

Francesco Bearzatti, Luca Bulgarelli, Bebo Ferra, Giovanni Mirabassi, Greta Panettieri, and Enrico Zanisi are the special guests of the 2024 edition.

During the artistic residency, six new musical groups were formed, composed of young Italian and European talents as well as internationally renowned artists, special guests – who guided the young musicians along an intense path of composition and production of original music – who made their debut on the stage of the Casa del Jazz in Rome and then left for a European tour, hosted by the project’s International Partners: Royal Academy of Aarhus Aalborg (Denmark) / Metropolia, Helsinki (Finland) / Royal Conservatoire Antwerp (Belgium) / SRH Berlin (Germany)

A true social and artistic experiment, in which the lead musician selects the members of his or her own ensemble, with whom to create a new musical work, produced by Saint Louis Music Production’s Jazz Collection record series , which takes care of digital publication, subsequent writing by the musicians and concert promotion at Italian and foreign jazz festivals.

The European Jazz’s Cool project is supported by MiBac under the “FUS – Fondo Unico Spettacolo” and Erasmus+.
