Gaetano Partipilo - Besides: Songs from the Sixties (2013)

Excellent Italian Jazz album from Saxophonist Gaetano Partipilo featuring many vocalists and covering songs from the sixties. Alice Ricciardi’s beautiful voice graces the melodic ‘Beyond The Days’. Heidi Vogel fronts the excellent swinging ‘Ocean Dance’ that also includes a great trumpet solo from Fabrizio Bosso. Rosalia De Souza adds her Brazilian charm to the Bossa ‘Atras De Porta’ and Mr Natural shines on ‘Jive Samba’ and ‘Right Now’. There are some good instrumentals like ‘Wall And Water’ and ‘The Sticks’. Best album from Schema for a long time.
