'Something to Remember' was created by chance during one of the many jazz festivals spread all over the world, exactly at the Gaume Jazz Festival. On that night, three soloists happened to meet, sat down and went back, with their memory and heart, to the best songs which had marked significantly their artistic and human experience. The result was this record with its genuine, refined and essential songs. Instead of virtuosity and affectation we have exalted sounds, colours, timbres and above all emotions, which have been too often neglected. In creating and interpreting these songs, in a strange fusion of accordion, piano and voice, I meant to leave something which remains for those willing to hear what belonged to the past, great tradition of Italian Jazz, and which can last in the future, just not to forget.
