Featured Artist: Giovanni Tommaso Quintet

CD Title: Secondo Tempo

Song Title: Porcile

Record Label: CamJazz

Style: Straight-Ahead / Classic



Track Description: And enjoyable Secondo Tempo is with Tommaso arranging all 10 cuts (over 56 minutes of music) on the CD. All 10 tracks are taken from memorable Italian films. Check out Divorzio All'Italiana (Divorce Italian Style) starting with Begonia and Lovano (trombone and sax) playing catch and return with each other. It transitions to Lovano's unique voice on the sax taking the melody while Tommaso really gets in the groove. Not to be outdone, Begonia and Farao each get a chance at the lead, and it finishes with Begonia and Lovano again playing catch and return. Il Clan dei Siciliani (The Sicilian Clan) offers Tommaso the chance to showcase his considerable strength and range on the bass. Finally, for you Godfather fans, Tommaso includes Il Padrino (the Godfather theme). An absolutely haunting rendition played with Lovano's sax imparting lots of soul. You can just here Don Corleone say " I'm going to make you an offer you cant refuse". - A. Nelson Rand
