The “Sahara” is a club located in the town of Methuen , north of Boston. Thanks to Bob “Jocko” Arcidiacono, the “Sahara” has been featuring the best local jazz ensembles, as well as internationally renowned jazz names such as Bud Shank, Scott Hamilton, Mark Murphy, and others. I'm happy to present this trio featuring two great musicians and friends. On bass is Marshall Wood, currently with Tony Bennett. On drums is my fellow Italian countryman, Marcello Pellitteri, one of NYmost sought after drummers.
The recording consists of five instrumentals and five vocals,including three of my favorite Great a American Songbook standards. Also included are an A.C.Jobim bossanova in Portuguese, a Latin American old favorite, and one of the most beautiful Italian songs ever written, a Luigi Tenco gem. Among the instrumentals, there are more intense jazz tunes such as master Chick Corea's “Got a match?”(I hope Chick won't mind my“Topsy” quote:>), and my own “Blues in the midst of a crowd”, composed in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon attack. Because Charlie Parker is one of my strongest jazz influences , I had to start with his bebop blues ,“Bloomdido”. We followed by Poinciana, which we played with a different rhythmic feel from the famous Ahmad Jamal version.
