Musica Nuda (Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti) - Musica Nuda 2 (2006) 2CDs Music

Posted by Designol at March 21, 2024

The second album by Petra Magoni (vocal) and Ferruccio Spinetti (bass) is another piece of an original project, unique in many respects in Italian music. The voice sharp, ironic, bad, sweet Magoni moves back to the great songs of pop music: Come Together, Never Can Say Goodbye, but also original compositions like the beautiful Io Sono Metà or Le Due Corde Vocali in which joins, for the first time, the voice of Ferruccio Spinetti. Two voices to tell a story, a dialogue that sums up well what do you look for in Musica Nuda 2: the sharp reduction to the bare essentials across with ironic depth.

The first sound on Italian pianist Enrico Zanisi’s deeply satisfying trio CD is the resonant, woody bass of Joe Rehmer. Unaccompanied and playing almost to himself, he lays down a short, four-bar phrase of loping quarter and half notes, a figure that bleeds over bar lines and establishes a smooth, easy feel to the tune. Zanisi, who can bring a subtle touch to his piano for one phrase and then sharp, steady accents the next, echoes the line with his left hand while drilling eighth-note chords to move the piece along. What once was drifting now has a groove, aided by Alessandro Paternesi’s funky kit work, and “Life Variations” takes off.

Paolo Conte - Elegia (2004) Music

Posted by Domestos at March 7, 2018

Elegia was Paolo Conte's first proper studio album in nine years. At 67, no one could blame him if he decided to slow down a little. Yet, in the evidence of this fine album, it seems clear the reasons for such a delay had little to do with any lack of creativity. Instead, it was probably a consequence of Conte's growing international reputation (two acclaimed U.S. compilations, The Best of Paolo Conte and Reveries, were released during this period, and subsequently Conte added the U.S. to his already busy touring schedule), as well as the fulfillment of a lifelong ambition, the multimedia musical Razmataz.

Norah Jones - Singing About You (2013) Music

Posted by robi62 at June 8, 2013

Live performance from American singer-songwriter Norah Jones, recorded in Poland during her 'Not Too Late' tour.
Sultry vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed her unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk due in large part to her unique upbringing. Born March 30, 1979, in New York City, the daughter of Ravi Shankar quietly grew up in Texas with her mother. While she always found the music of Billie Holiday and Bill Evans both intriguing and comforting, she didn't really explore jazz until attending Dallas' Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. During high school, Jones won the Down Beat Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist and Best Original Composition in 1996, and earned a second Best Jazz Vocalist award in 1997.
