RITORNO ALL'ELFO...
Nel weekend del 28 e 29 luglio scorso, uno dei più caldi degli ultimi 200 anni, siamo rientrati in studio, per una seconda tornata di registrazioni del nuovo materiale che andrà a formare il prossimo album. A differenza della volta scorsa, stavolta abbiamo separato le sessioni in due giorni: sabato ci siamo dedicati alle canzoni più acustiche e minimali, mentre domenica abbiamo lavorato con la band al completo. C'è davvero tanta carne al fuoco e tanta materia grezza da modellare, dunque dobbiamo procedere passo dopo passo con la solita calma che ha sempre accompagnato i nostri lavori. Abbiamo già iniziato a discutere con il nostro arrangiatore, Carlo Pisani, riguardo all'apporto di archi e fiati e è ufficialmente partita la seconda collaborazione con il nostro produttore e "guida spirituale" Alberto Callegari, che sta già dispensando preziosi consigli e intuizioni sui nuovi pezzi. Dunque il vecchio "team" è ormai al completo e da settembre si inzia a lavorare sul serio.
Grazie mille a Carlo per le foto!

A BIGGER TOMORROW
E' finalmente uscito il nuovo disco solista del mio "hammondista" preferito, Paolo Apollo Negri.
Anche se non ha bisogno di presentazioni, mister Apollo è considerato fra i migliori suonatori di Hammond in Italia e in Europa e il suo "A Bigger Tomorrow" (Hammondbeat Records) è prova tangibile del suo talento.
15 canzoni esplosive, che trasmettono tutta la passione di Paolo per il sixties soul, il jazz e il funky e che vedono la collaborazione di artisti internazionali come The New Mastersounds, Stoned Soul Picnic, Big Boss Man, Speaklow, Diplomats of Solid Sound, Montefiori Cocktail, Gene Drayton Unit, The Five Aces e tanti altri. Ho avuto l'onore e il piacere di dare un apporto chitarristico nella jazzy "Let the Sun Catch you Sleepin'".
Un lavoro meraviglioso per un artista unico.
