This album contains the music of the concert-tale “Viva / De André “ staged in some of the most important jazz festivals (Umbria Jazz Winter, Südtirol Jazz Festival, Ascona Jazz etc). On the occasion of the realization of my two books “Non Per un dio ma Nemmeno per Gioco - Vita di Fabrizio De André e Falegname di Parole - le canzoni e la musica di Fabrizio De André”, I highlighted Fabrizio De André's great passion for jazz. That's why I decided to re-propose his music in a jazz key, relying on the skill of Luigi Masciari who is the musical director of this project. A quintet, ours, made up of the best Italian musicians and others, such as Francesco Bearzatti, Giampiero Locatelli, Pietro Iodice, Alfredo Paixão and Luigi Masciari himself. Before entering the room, we received the adhesion of two of the most extraordinary young talents of the current American scene: Giulio Carmassi, known for having been part of the Pat Metheny Unity Group and Michael League leader of Snarky Puppy, as well as winner of four Grammys Award.
