Women in Jazz

"This CD is exceptional for two reasons. First of all, due to its focus on Italian songs in jazz, but also because all the recordings are not published anywhere else (nov '97), and in most cases made on purpose for this occasion. In this project have participated many of our best jazzmen (and jazz women), besides Lee Konitz' presence. The CD is plenty of "re-readings" displayed in a six chapter series, in order: the Fresu-Salis-Di Castri trio; Renato Sellani, Tiziana Ghiglioni, Lanfranco Malaguti, and the Umberto Petrin group. We can see thus, track after track, the strait bonds between canzone and Italian jazz, with its reciprocal, important influences."
