THE RECORDING

Music, editions and recording details

Antonella Vitale approaches the songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David through a conversation with her quartet. Andrea Beneventano’s piano, Francesco Puglisi’s double bass and Alessandro Marzi’s drums underpin arrangements by Beneventano and Vitale, while the guests bring saxophones, flute, flugelhorn and guitar into the ensemble. Alongside The Look Of Love, Walk On By and the other songs in the programme is Tra la sabbia e il mare aperto, an original composition by the singer. This Velut Luna project gives the song repertoire a setting shaped by voice, rhythm section and guest soloists.
