Introduction

The Quintetto Denner comes out of the mixture of two different experiences and artistic sensitivities. The Trio Denner’s academic experience, to which new forms of musical experimentation has been added, becomes tied up with one of the most famous names of the Italian musical survey: Guerrino Allifranchini. Clarinet and saxophone player, component of the Bruno Canfora’s orchestra and famous all over the world for his wonderful career, he has been playing as soloist and with several famous musicians. During the show,therefore, the Quintetto Denner alternates the clarinet and the saxophone to perform classical, classical-contemporary and jazz pieces from the world musical survey. As far as the jazz is concerned, the Quintetto Denner proudly co-operates with Claudio Wally Allifranchini (internationally famous jazzman). During the show therefore the Quartetto performs pieces composed on purpose by him. Another important co-operation is with Filippo Rodolfi (famous pianist, composer and arranger), who personally takes care of the arrangements for the group. With him the Quartetto performs the jazz recitals.

In February 2005 the Quintetto Denner was in turnee in Australia, and performed at the concert hall of the conservatoire in Sidney. The quintet, afterwards, performed four concerts in the four splendid theatres of the Gold Coast Jazz Festival of Surfers Paradise, representing Italy at the Festival. The CD of the Quintetto Denner was broadcast from January on some the main Australian radios.

In 2001 the Quintetto Denner taken part to the "European Jazz Festival" of Izmir as unique Italian group (every country in fact, has suggested a group that could represent its own jazz musical culture). In that occasion the quintet recorded a live CD (Quintetto Denner - Live in Turkey).
The music of the Quintetto Denner was broadcast in on radio and the state television.
After the 19 March concert at Izmir the group fled to Ankara, where they performed a concert at the University of Hacettepe on 21 March
