Lively and at times tender interpretations of songs by Neapolitan singer Pino Daniele led by Cuban piano legend Gonzalo Rubalcaba and featuring vocals by Maria Pia De Vito plus a simpatico band flavoured by the Gato Barbieri like sax playing of Daniele Sepe.
A strong big band album that's on another plane entirely from all others in the same idiom this year. There's also an array of top singers taking part including Sting, Jeffrey Osborne, Samara Joy, José James, Cécile McLorin Salvant, the greatest living female jazz singer Dianne Reeves and Philly connection Antoinette Henry. It's the full package.
