About the Album

After many albums and many years performing and touring with my trio and quartet, in July 2021 I went to a recording studio near Florence to record my first piano solo album. I wanted the music to be as spontaneous and instinctive as when I play at home, so after setting the microphones I just sat at the piano and played for two hours in a row: improvised songs, original compositions but also songs by Paco de Lucía, Violeta Parra, George Gershwin, Thelonious Monk and Chick Corea. Then I selected seven takes that could tell a little bit what is my solo playing about and in October 2021 Secrets of a Kiri Tree was released. One year later I just realized a lot had been left out, at the margin, Peripheral Songs waiting to be listened to, and Improvisation #1 is the very first thing I played that day.
