Vittorio Castelli, Andrea Sirna - Fonè Jazz Makers - Girl of My Dreams (2001/2021) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

"It all started few years ago when 'Top Audio' organizer Piero Dametti asked me to put together a traditional jazz band to play during his well known hi-fi show. Being well acquainted with all the specialist musicians of this kind, I had no trouble forming a New Orleans type outfit to fulfil his request. I knew from former experience that a whole brass band was a little out of place in modest sized interior spaces. So I reverted to the easier formula of three horns with tuba and banjo accompaniment. The audience much enjoyed it so we were invited again and again the following years. Despite some inevitable changes in the line-up due to band members' occasional unavailability, the basic line up remained the same, i.e. the one featured on this CD. During the Top Audio production of 1999, Giulio Cesare Ricci head of the fone record label made a proposal to record us. I fear we took it easy, too easy. At last all of us, Giulio Cesare, his equipment, including his legendary microphones, and we, the musicians, could gather in Campiglia Marittima, near Piombino (Tuscany) the following year (2000) in the month of October. In a couple of days, between meals, we managed to record the fifteen tracks on this CD. As is often the case with New Orleans ensembles we started with not many ideas on what to play. The repertoire evolved as we played it, much to our own amusement and to the amazed wonder of Mr. and Mrs. Ricci, Giulio Cesare and Paolo Maria, who, I guess, are accustomed to some more detailed session planning." - Vittorio Castelli
