Francesco Gabbani A Moment OF Silence

Though there are many beautiful singing voices in jazz today, Viktoria Tolstoy is one of a kind. A great melodramatist of jazz who is also bipolar, she makes happiness sound fragile and threatened, and bitterness sweet and enchanting. She has framed and perfected this art on a conceptual level since becoming an ACT artist in 2003, whether concentrating on material from Esbjörn Svensson – whose e.s.t. began to some extent as her accompanying trio – or, most recently, on Herbie Hancock, classical originals, Swedish standards or repertoire from Russia, the home of her ancestors.

Following up on their 2018 their "Ascension" album, the band return with a second installment of their Orchestral Hits opus. 'String Theory' includes 11 new recordings of some of their classic hits and fan favorites. The album features the Slovenian Symphonic Film Orchestra and adds an extra orchestral backing to hits such as 'Messages', 'Say You Love Me', 'Remember David' and 'The Story of a Young Heart'. The album features appearances from all 4 original members Mike Score, Ali Score, Frank Maudsley and Paul Reynolds.
