“I have been wanting to record with Andrea Pozza for twenty years, so this was a great opportunity for me. In addition we recorded at home in Certaldo Alto so the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. I am look­ing forward to hearing how I sound without any effects - just the very good natural acoustics of the Castello.” ~Scott Hamilton

Few times in life one has the feeling to be in the right place at the right time. It happened to me in the cellar of Hotel Il Castello in Certaldo on the occasion of the recording of this CD. To record with Scott Hamilton, one of my all time favourite musicians, in an extraordinary place with invaluable microphones skillfully maneuvered by Giulio Cesare Ricci, a real “guru” of hifi recording, enjoying the hospitality Alfred Kramer (and his snare drum and brushes in a couple of takes) and the amazing food at Il Castello - what do you think, isn’t that enough? ~Andrea Pozza

  2. Thank you so much for posting this request, Mat. Only one observation: I think the album title is "I Could Write a Book" instead of "Afternoon in Paris"... am I wrong?
