ALTRE SPEZIE - MINETTI, COSCIA, TROVESI, BERTOLI

Altre Spezie brings together Lucia Minetti's voice and Gianni Coscia's accordion in music poised between jazz, Italian songwriting, theatrical expression and humour. Coscia's originals with lyrics by Saverio Paffumi meet the standards Don't Explain and Soul Eyes. Guest musicians Gianluigi Trovesi on bass clarinet and Stefano Bertoli on percussion add their voices to tracks 2 and 10.
