Sbatti ben su del be-bop

Paolo Belli - Italian singer/songwriter Paolo Belli got involved in music while taking piano lessons as a child, later improving his skills at Reggio Emilia’s Conservatory. In 1984, the musician formed a band called Ladri Di Biciclette, who participated in San Remo’s festival in 1989 with a self-titled song and became the opening act for Vasco Rossi that same year. While its song “Dr. Jazz & Mr. Funk” was climbing on local charts, Ladri Di Biciclette consolidated its popularity after coming in first place at Festivalbar. They were voted Best New Band of the Year and soon had the opportunity to release their first album. In 1991, Paolo Belli returned to San Remo with “Sbatti Ben Su Del Bebop,” recording Ladri Di Biciclette’ second album as well. Two years later, the artist released his first solo record, followed by 1994’s Solo. He was awarded for “M’Hanno Lasciato Qui“‘s video. In 1998, Paolo Belli performed along with Dan Aykroyd at Rome’s Big Mama Club, while the American actor was promoting Blues Brothers 2000.

Pick up the pieces

Average white band - Their second album, Average White Band, was full of disco music. The highlight was an instrumental, "Pick Up the Pieces," written by Roger and Hamish. It featured a tenor sax solo by Malcolm and the dual guitars of Onnie and Hamish. At first, the song was shunned by black stations because the band was chiefly white. But black youngsters -- and deejays -- loved it, and helped the band top the album and singles charts simultaneously in February 1975. "Pick Up the Pieces" was certified a million-seller by the RIAA on March 6 and was later nominated for a Grammy Award as Best R&B Instrumental of the Year (it lost, to MFSB's "T.S.O.P.").

Sponge

Brecker Brothers - Michael & Randy - Born into a musical household in 1949, Michael Brecker's father--a lawyer and jazz pianist--played jazz on the record player for his young sons and took Michael and older brother Randy to see Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington perform live. While Randy took up trumpet, Michael launched his studies on clarinet and then alto sax. Moved by the genius of John Coltrane, Brecker switched to tenor sax in high school. After studying at the University of Indiana, as did his brother, Brecker moved to New York City, landing work with several bands before co-founding the pioneering jazz-rock group Dreams in 1970. Three years later, Brecker joined his brother in the frontline of pianist/composer Horace Silver's quintet. The following year, the siblings branched off to form the Brecker Brothers--one of the most innovative and successful jazz-funk fusion bands of the decade.

Tu vo' fa l'americano

"Tu vuò fà l'americano" (You want to play the American) is a Neapolitan language song by Italian singer Renato Carosone. Carosone wrote the song in 1956 together with Nicola "Nisa" Salerno. Combining swing and jazz, it became one of his best known songs. Commissioned by Ricordi director Rapetti for a radio contest, the music was composed by Carosone in a very short time after reading Nisa's lyrics; he immediately believed the song would become a great success. The song was featured in the 1960 Melville Shavelson film It Started in Naples, in which it was sung by Sofia Loren and Clark Gable. It was also performed by Rosario Fiorello in the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley and was covered by The Puppini Sisters. The lyrics are about an Italian who imitates the contemporary American lifestyle and acts like a Yankee, drinking "whisky and soda", dancing to Rock 'n Roll, playing Baseball and smoking Camel cigarettes, but still depends on his parents for money. The song is generally considered a satire on the process of Americanisation that occurred in the early post-war years, when Italy was still a rural, traditional society. Carosone himself wrote that his songs "were deeply based on the American dream, interpreting jazz and its derivatives as a symbol of an America, lively land of progress and well-being, but always Neapolitan-style, folding that symbol in a sly parody of its customs". According to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, "Tu vuò fa l'americano" is the symbol of Carosone's artistic parabola, as he retired from music in 1960, just four years after releasing the song.
