Nel 2004 comprai il mio primo cd di Charles Mingus e dal quel momento e' nato un grande amore per la musica di questo compositore. Oggi - 22 aprile - e' il centenario della sua nascita. Per chi fosse interessato, ho fatto una piccola playlist di assaggio della musica di questo gigante, solo dieci pezzi: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Gq4RBOAwZT2PMbJ1qJftQ?si=4b87efa4a3724bd9
Happy Birthday Charles ! 🎂

Augusto Pirodda and I got a lovely review for our cd "And If You Fall, You Fall" by Leon Nock of Jazz Journal in the UK.
My favourite part of the review is when Mr. Nock - referring to some of our past duo work - writes that he "...found it more than fit to stand beside similar piano and voice albums by performers such as June Christy & Stan Kenton, Doris Day & Andre Previn, Ella Fitzgerald & Ellis Larkins"
What more could anyone ask for ?
Thank you Leon Nock !!!

My Story
Emilia’s musical story transcends 30 years and many different countries, from Italy to her current home in The Hague. With each note and mile she has fallen deeper in love with jazz, via a story that doesn’t begin with finding her voice, but rather, tells how singing found her.
“Singing is a place where I feel safe,” Emilia says. “The first time I sang to an audience – when I was in my teens - it was like a miracle. To me it was home, and I sing because I cannot not do it. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t sing.”
In Emilia’s safe place, music holds memories and traces every contour of her life, ever since her upbringing in Northern Italy’s cultured Cento – the small town near Bologna with its opera theatre, concert halls, library, cinemas and museums. In her family’s literary household expectations ran high, so music was kept as a hobby. Emilia would read and nurture her growing appreciation for literature and at age 7, like her mother and sister, she started piano lessons, whilst developing a love of classical music. Meanwhile, pop music would fill the house; the youngest of four children, she’d hear her older siblings play ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s British and American pop, blues, rock and Italian cantautori on their record player, before a jazz epiphany in her teens.
“I was singing Rickie Lee Jones’ rendition of ‘My Funny Valentine’ – I didn’t know it was a jazz standard. My mother heard me singing and said: ‘That’s My Funny Valentine, that’s jazz !’- I thougt: ‘That’s it ! That’s what I want to do for the rest of my life’”.
