Event details
Tired of the same old Italian clichés? Enter Radiosuccessi: Melbourne’s one and only purveyor of genuine Italian jazz – and now celebrating 10 years of dazzling local audiences with style, flair and irresistibly groovy charm.
Led by award-winning Italian singer-songwriter Ilaria Crociani and internationally acclaimed saxophonist Mirko Guerrini, this exquisite quintet dives deep into Italy’s musical golden era, reviving the lush sounds of the 1950s and ‘60s with passion and panache. Featuring Ryan Griffiths (guitars), Jono Brown (double bass), and Niko Schäuble (drums), Radiosuccessi delivers a sound that’s authentic, sophisticated, and unexpectedly fun.
No cheesy covers, no faux-Italo charm: just sensual ballads that make your heart ache, romantic gems that shimmer with old-world glamour, and fiery cha-chas and mambos once lit up by the likes of Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida. This isn’t nostalgia: it’s a full-bodied, cinematic experience.
Ten years on, and still the only one of its kind in Melbourne.
Come for the music, stay for the magic.
