A sincere tribute to the music that raised these two Italian musicians. The focus on “how to play” rather than “what to play” is the real deal.
Essential arrangements, great interplay and lots of “breaths” is all you get, with no compromise.
The warm voice of Max Prandi joins the tempting notes of Lino Muoio’s mandolin for a rare experiential
journey into African American culture without unnecessary prejudices.
