Jog Blues 2024

Magazzino Italian Art Presents Jog Blues, Bringing Together Masters of Jazz, Blues, and Indian Classical Music

Cold Spring, NY—Jog Blues, the renowned group that brings together masters of jazz, blues, and Indian classical music into a 21st-century mix, will perform at Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, New York on June 15.

Creating an experience that draws from deep traditions while also swinging towards the future, the band is named after an Indian raga (a melodic framework for improvisation in Indian classical music) and the blues, a distinctly American genre.

Jog Blues’ performance at Magazzino will explore the space between composition and improvisation, melding into an international blend of musical expression. The band’s music takes form through spontaneous invention that organically grows from musicians who are deeply attuned to one another. Audience members are invited to join in for a communal journey guided by music into the suffering, joys and liberation of the human experience.

About Magazzino Italian Art
Magazzino Italian Art is a museum and research center dedicated to advancing scholarship and public appreciation of postwar and contemporary Italian art in the United States. Located in Cold Spring, New York, the museum was founded by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu.

In 2017, the first building, designed by architect Miguel Quismondo and set within several landscaped acres of the Hudson Highlands, was inaugurated with an exhibition drawn from the Olnick Spanu Collection and dedicated to Margherita Stein, founder of the historic Galleria Christian Stein in Milan and a key advocate and supporter of the artists associated with Arte Povera.

In 2023, Magazzino inaugurated its Research Center, named for the art critic and historian who gave Arte Povera its name. Created as an educational nonprofit museum, Magazzino Italian Art increased its indoor space by two-thirds in September 2023 by opening the freestanding Robert Olnick Pavilion, designed by architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo and named in memory of Nancy Olnick’s father. This new building provides a multipurpose room with auditorium capabilities, a store, and Café Silvia serving Italian cuisine by Italian Chef Luca Galli.
