The second in a series of shows featuring songs about cities. This week, we concentrate on Italy...
More “city songs” shows to come later this month.
Song 1 : : Carnival of Venice
Artist : : The Waikikis
Album : : Christmas in Hawaii
Belgian band, German producer, Hawaiian music, Christmas album, song about an Italian city... amazing. I guess this is what you would call real “fusion”... maybe?

Song 2 : : Arrivederci, Roma
Artist : : Skip Heller
Album : : Fake Book
A good organ-bass-guitar album... very reminiscent of a similar style of jazz record from the 60s. Skip is part-Italian, I gather... www.SkipHeller.com

Song 3 : : Sorrento
Artist : : Les Cinq Modernes
Album : : Continental Jazz
Euro-sounding name... bistro-flavored tunes... but these guys are actually American left coast studio musicians.

Artist : : Lou Monte

More Lou! Played Lou a few weeks ago and here he is again... www.loumonte.com
