Marilena Paradisi & Natalino Marchetti - Blue Prelude (2026) [Hi-Res]

Italian vocalist Marilena Paradisi collaborates with accordionist Natalino Marchetti on the chamber duo album Blue Prelude, released via Losen Records. Marking her tenth solo project, the record presents a stripped-back, highly expressive approach to vocal jazz and contemporary improvisation.

The album relies entirely on the nuanced dialogue between Paradisi's versatile vocal colors and Marchetti's orchestral, highly resonant accordion work. Their repertoire spans reimagined compositions by Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Horace Silver, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Stephen Sondheim, fusing avant-garde jazz, chamber jazz, and latin jazz influences.
