Frank Sinatra, conducted by Nelson Riddle, Tony Bennet, Ella Fitzgerald and Loui Armstrong, Nat Cole, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington... and so many others. All those great musicians and singers use to open wide my ears and my soul to a music that I always felt very close.

Xavier Casellas: Yesterday's Sun

Read "Yesterday's Sun" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La voce non è certo il mio “strumento" preferito e questo spesso influisce in modo pesante sulle mie recensioni di album a firma di cantanti. In questo caso, però, faccio volentieri un'eccezione. Innanzitutto perché la scelta dei brani non è affatto scontata. E poi perché i musicisti non svolgono un semplice ruolo di sostegno alla voce ...
