Letizia Onorati - Con i miei occhi (2021)

It is the third album for the singer from Lecce, ambassador of pink-tinged Italian jazz, who returns three years after the last recording project with a collection of songs that allows her musical language to speak all the languages ​​of the soul.

Special exceptional guest is the singer-songwriter Fabio Concato, to sing his beautiful "Sea Party" with Letizia.

Also the result of a present that put everyone to the test, "With my eyes" immediately presented itself as a compass in Letizia's life: "For me, a certainty has always been music, to listen to, play, write and above all singing, a redeeming magic potion, perfect conjunction between emotionality and rationality, resilient, audacious. Almost as if for a primary need, I decided to start from uncertainty, from this historical moment that no one could ever have imagined to retrace this bridge, to relive beauty as it is for me. To relive and experience everything with my eyes ".

Two unpublished and ten covers contained in the album that is outlined as a logbook of that musical journey made up of destinations that Letizia, with her eyes and with her voice, was able to tell.

Artistic producer of the disc and author of the arrangements (piano and rhodes) is the extraordinary Paolo Di Sabatino, pianist, composer and teacher of international fame; Luca Bulgarelli (double bass and electric bass) and Glauco Di Sabatino (drums) worked on the project; saxophonists Javier Girotto and Max Ionata: the first, an Italian-Argentine musician among the best known in the jazz scene of our country, who has collaborated with Ralph Towner, Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker, Paul Mc Candles, Paolo Fresu, Bob Moses, Danilo Rea , Michel Godard, among others; the second, considered one of the greatest Italian saxophonists of the contemporary jazz scene who in a few years has won the approval of critics and audiences, always enjoying great successes in Italy and abroad; to enrich the project, the contribution of the Neiman String Ensemble directed by Tony Neiman and led by the first violin Giuseppe Giugliano.

Traces that tell of a passing time, that present time "in a dimension of exploration in balance between concreteness and hope, in search of a fixed point, in search of the lighthouse that can guide us to pursue the right path always, especially in the night in waiting to see the dawn of the new day again ”.

Traveling around the world did not remain without relapses in Letizia's music. Among her notes you can perceive the plots of a new project that arises in the wake of the feelings experienced during her adventures around the world that are always unique and difficult to translate.

To describe her world and make it musically coherent, the singer used the lyrics of great artists, such as Fossati, Mina, Jovanotti, Vasco Rossi, just to name a few.
