Music, editions and recording details

Antonio Simone pays tribute to jazz pianist-composers, with a stop along the way for saxophonist John Coltrane’s Naima. Piano, Rhodes and synthesizer meet Angelo Verbena’s double bass and Marcello Spallucci’s drums and tar. To Giants explores music by Zawinul, Jamal and Ellington, brings Powell and Monk together in Giants’ Melodies and closes with the solo-piano fantasy Remembering Sante’s Way, dedicated to Sante Palumbo.
