JEFF LARSON “It’ll Never Happen Again”
E’ ‘solo’ un ep, cinque brani per poco meno di un quarto d’ora, ma questo nuovo lavoro di Jeff Larson merita di essere segnalato perchè riporta all’attenzione degli appassionati la figura decisamente sottovalutata (dal grande pubblico ma certamente non dai suoi colleghi che ne hanno ripreso spesso le canzoni) di Tim Hardin, sfortunato songwriter scomparso prematuramente all’età di 39 anni dopo una carriera con splendidi gioielli incastonati in una vita purtroppo segnata dalla dipendenza dall’eroina. Jeff Larson, autore, cantante e produttore della Bay Area di San Francisco è stato convinto dall’amico Gerry Beckley, indimenticato membro degli America, ad [...]
Nuovo singolo per WORLD electric BAND & Sara Marri
Careless Whisper, lo storico brano di George Michael è stato rielaborato dagli Web (Gabriele Leucci chit./synth, Marco Carnevali batt.) insieme a Sara Marri (piano/voce). Questa versione da spazio alla creatività strumentale degli WEB e offre una chiave di lettura inedita , originale e di grande effetto. Il testo è stato tradotto in portoghese ( fedele al testo originale) arrangiato e cantato da Sara Marri, che lo valorizza con interventi latin-jazz al piano sostenuti dal basso puntuale e preciso di Gianluca Lione ( la “Latin soul Band”). Di grande prestigio la collaborazione con lo studio “Esagono”per il mix voce [...]

NEW SINGLE & EP: Charlie Fittler – “Buckin’ Luck”
There are literally hundreds of rodeo terms that have crept into everyday speech – old gems like ‘go hard or go home’ ... ‘take the bull by the horns’ ... and ‘life’s about the ride’.
