Jooklo Duo: Virginia Genta - saxophones & David Vanzan - drums. Bringing their intense and mesmerizing music all over the world since 2003 and captivating any kind of audience from ol' jazz fans to noise & punk-rock kids, the duo has been working on a totally personal research that has been described as the most powerful expression in “free music” nowadays, transcending every kind of definition and going straight to the center of Sound.    Born 1984 in Italy, Virginia Genta is self-taught and plays saxophone (tenor, soprano, baritone, alto), flutes, clarinet, plus some percussion and keyboards.
