 A new jazz improvisation CD entitled “Warm-Up’ by accordionist Thomas Sinigaglia and Stefano Benini (flutes) is now available. In this album the two musicians wanted to explore both the more traditional sounds of jazz along with the more experimental and mainstream ones, where pure improvisation and interplay are the masters.They also wanted to include a very sweet theme by Caetano Veloso (Lindeza) and two tributes to Lennie Tristano (Out but Where? and Turkish Mambo) whom they both admire very much. The album is available on Amazon. |
