After more than ten years of artistic collaboration, one of the most original interpreters of Italian song: Peppe Servillo and five great jazz musicians: Rita Marcotulli, Javier Girotto, Fabrizio Bosso, Furio di Castri, and Mattia Barbieri, reunite to explore the poetic universe of Lucio Battisti. A reinterpretation of the most intimate, lyrical, and personal figure in Italian songwriting. Popular yet sophisticated, Italian yet solitary, he was the architect and inventor of songs that remain an intimate part of everyone’s cultural heritage, blending diverse sensibilities and musical ideas.
A particularly demanding challenge given the unique nature of the repertoire: the originality of the songs: their vast diversity in both music and lyrics, and their deep immersion in an inexhaustible compositional vein, could make it difficult to approach them without turning them into mere “covers.”
Girotto’s arrangements and Peppe Servillo’s theatrical genius succeed in charting a new, evocative, and unexpected path through twenty of Battisti’s greatest songs. A journey rich in Latin flavors, enveloping rhythms, history, emotions, and profound pathos.
From Il mio canto libero to Penso a te, the performers’ mastery serves this extraordinary songwriter, breaking down the boundaries that separate the world of song from that of jazz and improvisation to transport the audience into an open realm: that of great music and the magic of sound.
