LATEST NEWS:-------------------GAZZARA's second single from the latest album "BROTHER AND SISTER", titled "O PASSARINHO" - sung by Rio De janeiro jazz diva ITHAMARA KOORAX - has just been released worldwide by label Ritmica in a special 12" remix version by international DJ star TOM NOVY.-------------------"Brother And Sister", like the sun and moon, soul and pop, rock and jazz, black and white (the keys of a Rhodes piano): there..s a lot more than all this in both the title and the sound of GAZZARA's new album (the fourth, follow up to "The Spirit Of Summer").-------------------After more than a year of sessions between Rome, Florence, Rio De Janeiro and Los Angeles, "Brother And Sister" is finally on the shelves, released by label Silence/Ritmica. The album's first single "Love Needs Time" has been included as track opener in the japanese compilation "Disco A La Mode" (Rambling Records).-------------------The album sessions have been conducted by keyboardist and composer Francesco Gazzara (piano, rhodes, hammond, moog and acoustic guitar) with original band members Massimo Sanna (bass) and Mauro Mirti (percussion,).-------------------Great help came from many special guests: featuring on vocals the fascinating italo-turkish singer Yasemin Sannino, Rio De Janeiro's jazz star Ithamara Koorax (Marcos Valle, Eumir Deodato) and Chicago's vocalists Wendy Lewis and Desiree Mohammad (both known from Gazzara's previous albums). On flute and sax shines the talented cuban maestro Eduardo Piloto Barreto, while on double bass Luca Fogagnolo adds spicy jazz flavours to the album.-------------------Composer Marco Lamioni (head of label Silence, in Florence) acts as co-producer and featuring guitarist, with his unique cool jazz style nicely crafted for GAZZARA's sound.
Tracks from the new album include first single "Love Needs Time", title track "Brother And Sister", dancefloor fillers "Rio Funk" and "Love Is The Answer", super bossa "O Passarinho", the evocative "Lost Time In Porto", included in recent compilations "La Maison Arabe" and "Ama Lounge" (Silence), and a cover of "Hung Up On My Baby", hidden soul gem written by Isaac Hayes for the 1974 movie soundtrack "Three Tough Guys".-------------------GAZZARA's new record follows three albums "One", "Grand Central Boogie" and "The Spirit Of Summer" (Irma Records), a japanese greatest hits ("Il Meglio Di Gazzara") and several international tours in UK (London's Jazz Cafe'), Japan (Yokohama's "Motion Blue"), Switzerland (Montreux Jazz Festival), Russia (twice in Moscow), Portugal (Sa Da Bandeira's Opera Theatre) and Spain (CAB in Burgos).-------------------GAZZARA "Keep Yourself Together" (Italian TV 1996)
