Stefano Di Battista, the famous jazz saxophonist, is back on 02/04/2021 with the album Morricone Stories which covers the music of Morricone in jazz quartet with a lot of inventiveness and pleasure to play. The first clip is the music of the film Peur sur la Ville, to be discovered in the selection of the week on JustFocus. Ennio Morricone passed away last July, and on April 2, 2021, his compatriot Stéfano Di Battista pays him the most beautiful tribute. The disc is planned on the labels and publishers Antéprima Productions and Warner Music. It will bring together André Ceccarelli on drums, Fred Nardin on piano and Daniele Sorrentino on double bass. This high-flying formation celebrates the Italian composer, known worldwide for his film music, with more than 500 compositions in sixty years of activity. We can't wait to discover the selection of songs and the interpretation choices. Remember that Ennio Morricone has composed for directors like Sergio Leone, notably on the cult trilogy (For a Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Brute, and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West), but also Bertolucci, Pasolini, Henri Verneuil, Brian de Palma and recently Tarantino with the film The 8 Bastards. Stefano Di Battista - Morricone Stories In addition to covers of the theme of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, the Great Silence, from 1900, Veruschka, La Cosa Buffa, The disc contains a replay inspired by The Mission, in which the oboe of the original version is effortlessly transposed for a soprano saxophone, and Flora, an unpublished composition that the revered Maestro gave to Di Battista. In the end, the mechanics are flawless and could lead to a series of recordings, as if part of Morricone's mind had always been – perhaps unconsciously – turned towards jazz. The album "Morricone Stories" will be released on April 02, 2021. Stefano Di Battista released Peur sur la ville, the first single from his album Morricone Stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjqhpeoGups&feature=youtu.be Official link
