This review is from: I Grandi Successi Originali (Audio CD)

Bruno Martino has been one of the greatest songwriter in italian "pop" music history. His masterpiece Estate has become an international recognized Jazz standard played buy such greats as Michel Petrucciani and many more. His tunes are always extremely melodical and very well written from a musical standpoint. He sung very well too with a tender and warm attitude. The music contained here has been the soundtrack of the italian economic boom of the sixties, the theme of many summers. A really nice period for the country and you can breathe its atmosphere listening to this double album. This double cd contains almost all the best songs from this night club hero, tunes written together with few other italian legends, Umberto Bindi, Franco Califano (Il califfo) and so on. Arrivederci, Estate, E la chiamano estate, Baciami per domani, Cos'hai trovato in lui are all songs which deserve to be considered Jazz standards .. The album contains also nice renditions of popular "real" Jazz standards such as Smoke gets in your eyes, Girl from Ipanema, Love is a many splendor thing and few more. The overall quality of the compilation is fine, few tracks are taken from one of those legendary night shows, one of the million nights Bruno spent at the piano in a night club, others are studio takes. Bruno Martino is considered a legend today in Italy with few other artists (Luigi Tenco, Mina, Gino Paoli, Battisti ... Morricone): a legend of the italian music history and rightly so. Suddenly Bruno died a couple of years ago. Another legend, another man with a lot of stories to tell is gone. Ciao Bruno thanxs for the music and the wonderful songs.
