Stylish Semidiminished Cool Nightmood
Luciano Federighi is the truly Poet Laurate of the Italian Blues.
The fiftysomething musicologist is at his own ease when treat the blues as his best friend’s wish as he dose in the splendid “Forgotten Dreams, songs in blue“.
“Forgotten dreams” ‘ mood is in perfect sintony with good ol’ Percy Mayfield, Charles Brown, Randy Newman’ (as in “Broadway Full Moon“) masterpieces and, harmonically speaking, works perfectly with Luciano’s talking blues style.
A retronuevo fifties’ atmosphere shine all trough this great record, a collection of 15 original blues songs impossible to full categorize and hard to say coming from an italian composer.
Federighi knows very well the blues idoms and understand how a blues works in a song’s form; his knowledge is absolutely not academic, but the one of a truly music fan with a strong writing skill and technical abilities. Any song Works fine for the solitary nightride of the weaks.
On today restricted blues market you won’t find anything so elegant and classy as Luciano Federighi’s “Forgetten Dreams”.
Don’t miss this record for any reason.
It’s a Terrific One !
