By Luca Testoni<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is always a first time. And the first Italian concert for the American band Lake Street Dive<\/strong> coincides with a special live preview of JAZZMI 2026<\/strong>: the quintet led by the remarkably talented singer Rachael Price<\/strong> will perform on October 12<\/strong> at Alcatraz<\/strong> in Milan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recipe of the band, which took its first steps over 22 years ago in Boston<\/strong>? Crafting pop songs infused with soul, funk, folk, jazz, R&B, and country\u2014pop designed to put you in a good mood.<\/p>\n

In other words, in the face of wars, the climate crisis, unstoppable technological growth, and social isolation, Lake Street Dive<\/strong> offers a sort of joyful rebellion to the tune of catchy songs.<\/p>\n

The band’s philosophy is clearly set out in their eighth and latest album, “Good Together”<\/i>, released a couple of years ago, whose title track earned a Grammy nomination<\/strong> for Best Pop Vocal Album<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to be angry about in the world right now, a lot of pain, anger, and division, but it\u2019s not sustainable to live constantly in that anger\u2014you need something else to keep going,\u201d they explained. \u201cJoy is a great way to lift yourself up, and we wanted to encourage everyone to stay mindful of that. In a way, this album is our way of saying, \u2018Take your joy very seriously.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

What better way to kick off JAZZMI 2026<\/strong> than in the spirit of positive thinking?<\/p>\n
