Guitarist Michael Occhipinti and vocalist Pilar combine irresistibly funky grooves and freewheeling jazz improvisation.

A nine-time Juno Award nominee, versatile and endlessly creative guitarist/composer Michael Occhipinti combines elements of jazz, world music, and other genres in his playing. In 2008 he began one of his most personal explorations with the Sicilian Jazz Project, which melds the voices and serpentine melodies of Occhipinti’s ancestral homeland with irresistibly funky grooves and freewheeling jazz improvisation. The virtuoso instrumentalists are certainly impressive, but it’s Franco-Italian vocalist Pilar – who first played with Occhipinti in 2014 and is now central to the newest version of SJP – who often dominates the stage with her soaringly angelic vocal skills and emotional intensity. Profound, ebullient, and effortlessly immersive, the musical landscape conjured by the six members of the Sicilian Jazz Project is glorious, exotic, and timeless.
