Greta Panettieri - Non Gioco Più - Italian 60's In Jazz (2014)

Non Gioco Più' is a record in which the suggestions of two almost parallel worlds live: that of jazz, with its forward escapes and improvisations associated with nocturnal and smoky atmospheres and the Italian songs of the sixties and seventies , which also drew on sounds from overseas and which take us back to a time when television shows offered, without competitors, musical genres and social models. Some of those songs that have remained imprinted in the hearts and memories of millions of Italians, written by composers including Ennio Morricone, Bruno Canfora and Gianni Ferrio, for great voices like that of Mina, are present in this work that Greta Panettieri has created with his great friends and collaborators such as: Andrea Sammartino, Armando Sciommeri, Giuseppe Bassi and with three exceptional guests: Alfonso Deidda, Gaetano Partipilo and Fabrizio Bosso.

A record that comes from live and that finds its signature live. Recorded the old fashioned way, all together, to make that elusive magic of music played live palpable. "I wanted a record that sounded like me" – says Greta -. “I lived abroad for several years, I love jazz and I like to improvise in an unconventional way, I'm not a 'scat singer', but I also know that the melody, the words are the heart of a song, whether it is a standard or a popular song. And being able to combine the two allows you to achieve maximum expressiveness and gives great emotions."
