You may wonder what happens when the Italian actor and singer Camillo D’Ancona and the German jazz guitarist Michael Sagmeister team up. Well, the result is a CD full of wonderfully light music fluctuating between jazz, bossa nova and pop. These two men have been friends for over 20 years and have already produced their first CD together, "Primo Passo". Camillo D’Ancona’s Mediterranean temperament and Sagmeister’s at times explosive, at times ingratiating guitar create a harmonic connection. On the team, too, are amongst others, Sagmeister’s long-standing companions Michael Küttner, Thomas Heidepriem and Christoph Spendel.
Press review
"To venture a symbiosis of Italian canzoni and European-American fusion jazz – mission accomplished! ... at times electric, at times acoustic, or even on occasion played with the guitar synthesizer, all this makes 'Dedicato' a delight for the fans and the newcomers to the high art of the Italian song – truly delicato!"
