Walter Ricci - Naples Jazz (2024)

The young singer-pianist Walter Ricci - moved by his passion and knowledge for jazz music, especially American, proposes a work of reinterpretation and variation of American jazz standards by mixing them with his own languages ​​as a sign of sharing and union, as well as of reflection on the cultural belonging of human beings, regardless of the place in which they live, to their own culture, leading us to love what belongs to us most. Echoes of cultures, languages, sounds, rhythms, which lead the artist to mix and fuse melodies, overseas rhythms with his own "mother tongue", uniting the different languages ​​and making the listener's experience unique and original. The most beautiful jazz melodies, starting from the 1940s, are enriched by the theatricality and musicality that the Neapolitan language manages to bring.
