Carla Marciano - DAYDREAMING My Beloved Father GIOVANNI (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album Daydreaming by Italian saxophonist and composer Carla Marciano emerged from a period of profound personal hardship, marked by the loss of her parents and a long recovery from a severe road accident. Dedicated to the memory of her father, Giovanni, who instilled in her a lifelong passion for music, the recording reflects an enduring emotional bond between father and daughter.

The album's soundscape combines intimate lyrical reflection, intense improvisation, and expansive orchestral arrangements. Carla Marciano, performing on alto and sopranino saxophones, is joined by her long-standing quartet featuring Alessandro La Corte, Aldo Vigorito, and Gaetano Fasano, alongside acoustic bassist Dario Deidda. Select compositions feature the Philharmonic Orchestra of the "Giuseppe Verdi" Theater in Salerno, conducted by Antonio Sinagra. Weaving personal grief, childhood memories, and spiritual resilience into the framework of Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, and Symphonic Jazz, the record serves as a testament to courage, gratitude, and a love that transcends time.
