Mario Biondi Live – I Love You More
CD (Item 469629) Edel (Italy), 2007 — Condition: New Copy
A double-length live set from Mario Biondi – a hip Italian jazz singer we first discovered through his work on Schema Records, and one who sounds equally great here in a live big band setting! Biondi's got a really raspy style on his vocals – one that's instantly captivating, and which sounds especially nice on uptempo, modal jazz numbers – of which there are plenty on the set! But there's also some gentler tracks too – some sweet little tunes that get beyond the more standard Schema groove of Biondi's earlier recordings, and which help us appreciate his talents even more. Mario sings both classic soul tunes and older standards with effortless ease – always with just as much charm as his other numbers – and the backings are full, but never in a way that dominates things too much, especially on the ballads. 2CD set features 18 tracks in all – including "Just The Way You Are", "I Can't Keep From Cryin Sometimes", "I Love You More", "Rio De Janeiro Blue", "A Child Runs Free", "No Mercy For Me", "Slow Hot Wind", "Gig", "A Handful Of Soul", "FFF", "On A Clear Day", and "No Trouble On The Mountain". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
