Comim, Flavio

Also included are "Whisper Not", "Ceora", "I Can't Get Started", "Mamacita", "There Is No Greater Love", "Nutty", "Con Alma" and Boltro's own "Wasabi Blues". Japanese Venus Records release.

Quando Flavio Parisi è arrivato per la prima volta a Tokyo, vent’anni fa, nella valigia aveva due chili di spaghetti e due lattine di pelati, perché non sapeva quanto avrebbe potuto sopravvivere senza cibo italiano. Invece si è trovato a usarli più di un mese dopo, e solo perché i nuovi amici giapponesi volevano a tutti i costi provare la sua famosa pasta al sugo. Così, mentre in Italia prendeva piede la moda dei sushi all-you-can-eat, Parisi iniziava dall’altra parte del mondo una nuova vita come insegnante di italiano per i cantanti d’opera di Tokyo, imparava i rudimenti della lingua e soprattutto scopriva questa inedita, bruciante passione: la cucina giapponese, in un certo senso il “vero motivo” per cui è riuscito a mettere radici qui..

This is the first release of Daniele Gorgone with DDE RECORDS LTD. The opening track, "if i should lose you", is one of his all-time favorite standards to which he has added a short vamp at the end of the theme in which Flavio Boltro plays extraordinary notes! "DAD" is the acronym of Daniele (the leader), Alessandra (his partner, ) and Diego (his son, (who has no alternatives).

Flavio, re di Longobardi (Flavio, King of the Lombards) is an opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel. The Italian-language libretto was by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Matteo Noris's Il Flavio Cuniberto. It was Handel's fourth opera for the Royal Academy of Music. Handel had originally entitled the opera after the character of Emilia in the opera. Handel completed the score only 7 days before the premiere, at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket, London on 14 May 1723. There were 8 performances in the premiere run. The work was revived on 18 April 1732, under the direction of the composer, for 4 performances. There were no further revivals until it was rediscovered and performed in Göttingen in 1967. The first UK performance since Handel's time was in August 1969 at the Unicorn Theatre, Abingdon.

L’Italien Flavio Boltro est un transfigurateur. Compagnon de route de Michel Petrucciani, Stefano Di Battista ou encore d’Eric Legnini, il s’approprie avec éminence chaque note qui émane de sa trompette. C’est dans cet esprit de liberté inconditionnelle, marqué d’une forte empreinte de Jazz Modal et de Rock, qu’il forme le Trio BBB, avec Mauro Battisti à la contrebasse et Mattia Barbieri à la batterie. Ils présentent leur album « Spinning » : un triangle des B qui tourne bel et bien rond !
