Bittelli, Marco
Andrea
The Italian jazz guitarist and composer, Marco Bittelli has a long-standing interest in Latin Jazz music, first touched on with his first CD, Libera, twenty years ago. Andrea expands on that affinity and on the guitarist's interest in Cuban and Brasilian music. The result is this original mix of slow- to up-tempo pieces, limpid original songs that are filled with romanticism and lyricism. The rhythms, typical of Latin music, are combined with melodies rooted in the Italian's melodic tradition.
