Altre Latitudini (2003)

Vijfde album van de Italiaanse chanteur, uit 2003. Hes been called the Italian Leonard Cohen, and given the quiet intensity, hushed gruffness of voice and romance of image, the comparison is apt. Consequently, its no surprise that it was France, not Italy where the songwriter was first embraced some eight years ago, given much of his music inhabits the same emotion-drenched, nostalgia-tinged landscape of many a French chanteur. Five CDs later, it seems that Italy and much of the rest of the world is catching on. "Altre Latitudini" ('Others Latitudes)' is a departure from the singers last guitar/voice-only recording; while still primarily acoustic, it features a range of styles and instrumentation. As for the location of these latitudes, theyre not so much geographical or musical as they are points of reference for poets soul. (Li Robbins, Globe & Mail) Met een gastoptreden van de beroemde trompettist Enrico Rava.
