Details: Amazon.ca The gravel-voiced, 70-something Italian vocalist/pianist Paolo Conte combines the jazzy sophistication of a cabaret singer with the worldly and whimsical cosmopolitanism of an itinerant troubador. On his new CD, Conte's vivid vocals are his powerful and poetic passport to a number of musical ports-of-call. Most of tracks on this date, with a rhythm section augmented by French horn, accordion, saxophone and trombone, are rerecordings of Conte's classics. The moody, midtempo title track, the tango-tinged "L'avance," the carnival cadences of "Sudamerica" the colorful Cuban rumbaon "Dancing," and elegant chanson "Parigi" highlight Conte's fluid and formidable musical Esperanto. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
