A pampered homage to Elis Regina by one of our best performers of Brazilian music. The artistic personality of Barbara Casini is unquestionable, as is her love for Brazilian music and the Portuguese language, which is now her second (or first) language. In the notes of the booklet the same Florentine musician says of Elis: " the emotion always on the lips, you fall in love with his breaths, tears and smiles guessed in his song ". And these are the feelings that Barbara Casini manages to convey in her interpretations. Twelve songs that marked the short life of the Brazilian singer, who disappeared only thirty-seven years, re-harmonized and arranged by Paolo Silvestri and performed by a rich ensemble: Riccardo Luppi with saxophones and flute, Marco Tamburini on trumpet and filicorno, Roberto Rossi on trombone and conchiglie, Natalio Mangalavite on piano and rhodes, Dado Moroni on piano playing three pieces, Sandro Gibellini on guitars, Raffaello Pareti on double bass and electric bass, Francesco Petreni on drums and Heraldo Da Silva : pandeiro, cuica, tamborim, surdo, congas. A cascade of sounds that intertwine around the luminous voice of the leader, whose experience and ability ignites every piece. S ranges from authors such as Baden Powell and Milton Nascimento to Pedro Caetano and Edo Lobo , up to Guinga , guitarist and composer who recently collaborated with Gabriele Mirabassi . A brilliant repertoire, which sparks energy, but not without lyrical and melancholic moments, such as the splendid Ponta de Areia , introduced by a single flute by Riccardo Luppi, which demonstrates its versatility also for saxophones. Rossi's trombone sings well in Agora Tà , dialoguing with the voice supported by the choral harmony of drums and percussion and by the punctual walking of Pareti . Moroni 's intervention in Corrida de Jangada , Valsarancho and Veracruz embellishes the three pieces with exquisitely jazzy fragrances. Casini puts his heart in every single song, tears and screams his passion but also under his breath, covering all the vocal forms imaginable, modulating the contrasts and the rhythmic changes. The orchestrality of the performances is the added value as well as the arrangements by Silvestri . Each of the musicians enriches them with new themes, new sensations. The story of Elis "Furacao" is retraced with extreme professionalism and a lot of artistic devotion. Translate by Google http://www.jazzitalia.net/recensioni/uraganoelis.asp
