The event will take place on the 21st January 2021 at 20:00 at The Splendid on Strada Stretta in Valletta. This event will feature The Sammy Murgo Quartet performing live jazz, enlivening, as always, the character of the street.

With this event, the Artistic Director of The Strada Stretta Concept, Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci, hopes to place a spotlight on the consistently self-effacing icon that is Sammy Murgo. Murgo has been a presence on the local jazz scene since the 1950s and has played at legendary local clubs such as The Kenner Club and The Café Premier during their prime. He has played with three generations of local musicians and has also performed with the famous Maltese composer, Charles Camilleri. Yet despite having such an illustrious career, as well as earning respect from his peers, Murgo chose to sequester himself from fame instead purely dedicating his attention to the music itself.
