PARTIPILO, GAETANO

“Gaetano Partipilo is an Italian jazz saxophonist for over a decade on the international scene” - With this new project, just published by Schema Records, Gaetano showcases the other side of his artistic personality. It is dedicated to the music of the '60s rearranged in a modern way. The result is a warm music, refined and full of pathos. The album opens with "Beyond the days" written by Gaetano and Alice Ricciardi. It’s a song in ¾ based by dreamy athmosphere. Following a Herbie Mann’s hit made famous by the great Mel Tormè: the song is "Right Now" and is sung by Mr. Natural. “Atras da porta” is hand signed by Chico Buarque and is a poignant bossa nova masterfully played by Rosalia De Souza. The “Jive samba”, a Nat Adderley’s hit made famous by Quintet Cannonball Adderley first and then by Jon Hendricks, here sings Mr. Natural. "Ocean Dance" and beyond to accommodate a single overwhelming Fabrizio Bosso, the song has one of the most interesting voices in issue: Heidi Vogel.

"Moon flower" where stands the only Peter Lussier floor and the string ensemble in the magical arrangement of Luigi Giannatempo. Nicola Conte is a weapon of guitar for the next song which is one of the most successful songs of Gary McFarland. The title is "13 - death march" and is taken from the soundtrack of the 1966 film "Eye of the Devil". "Los Marcianos" and is inspired by the stories curious about a band. The following excerpt is instead an homage to Italian songs.
