Description
The extraordinary jazz singer of the avant-guarde tradition Jeanne Lee has long been the subject of the music and literary works of Diana Torti, jazz singer and composer. This dedication marks the 80th year since the birth of Jeanne Lee on 29 January 1939, with the respect and admiration of one artist for another.
It is the third SLAM CD to feature Diana Torti, this time as leader, following her work with Lucia Ianniello.
Diana writes: "On a Cloud" is a project born during a passionate music and vocal research focused on the figure of Jeanne Lee, in homage to this extraordinary musician and poetess. The repertoire draws on standards, improvisations and original compositions inspired by Jeanne Lee's world of sounds. The choice of the duo, voice and classical guitar, is an ideal dimension to re-elaborate the poetic, refined and intimate atmosphere of Lee's music."
