Songs For Chet, Songs For Now - CD

This box set brings together three major albums by Riccardo del Fra, an essential double bassist and composer on the European jazz scene. From the intimacy of the duets on A Sip of Your Touch, a sensitive and deeply personal tribute, to the ambitious orchestral writing of My Chet My Song, Riccardo del Fra explores the legacy of Chet Baker while reinventing it. With Moving People, he anchors his approach in a resolutely contemporary language: open, committed music inspired by the upheavals of today's world. Through these three complementary facets emerges the portrait of a complete musician, exploring and reshaping memory while always looking to the future, for whom sound, silence, and precision remain essential. A reference box set for understanding the aesthetic of the great Italian double bassist.Augustin Bondoux / Patrick Frémeaux
