About the Album

"Blues for Wes" is a classic blues-structured track, serving as a tribute to Wes Montgomery, a key figure in Andrea Zacchia's musical development. The track stands out for its relaxed and bright atmosphere, making it one of the album's most lighthearted and direct moments.  The dialogue between the guitar and Hammond organ unfolds in a dynamic and spontaneous interplay, enhanced by warm, enveloping tonal choices.  The piece features references to Montgomery's characteristic narrative phrasing and and lyrical style, reinterpreted through a personal and contemporary lens. It's a track that pays homage to the roots of jazz while maintaining a modern and open-minded perspective.
