ERIK SATIE Gnossienne 1 - Alessio Nanni, piano
After an intense day of work, listening to this piece by Erik Satie reconciles you with existence.
Nina Simone: To Love Somebody (Live in Antibes, 1969)
It's true that some covers turn out better than the originals. In my opinion, "To love somebody" performed by the Bee Gees is not that great, but Nina Simone's interpretation of the song is simply enchanting. After all, whenever Nina Simone sings, it has always been a guarantee of great musical class.
FRANK ZAPPA -- PLASTIC PEOPLE
Here's what Frank Zappa meant when he set to music his sarcastic parody of "plastic people" in 1967. Today things aren't any better...
Lucio Battisti - Windsurf Windsurf
According to a large portion of the audience, Battisti's musical output after his split from Mogol wasn't of great quality. However, in my opinion, this track titled "Windsurf windsurf" manages to convey the feeling of freedom that one can experience while practicing the sport of windsurfing.
Paul Simon - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard (Official Video)
This time it's really Paul Simon in the song I mentioned earlier.
Google-AC_IT_Italian_Orville_15s_2x3_1080x1620_Getaway-deals-app_254.mp4
One of the best tracks by Paul Simon, to start the day off right.
Lucio Battisti in Amarsi un po' dal vivo chitarra voce
This time Battisti reiterates a firm point, namely that physical love is spontaneous and natural. However, everything changes if love is understood and practiced as a complete spiritual connection and not just physical, for the simple reason that this requires total commitment. In short, free love is fine, but without shying away from true involvement with the partner (to put it like the Latin fathers: "hic Rhodus, hic salta").
Lucio Battisti Ancora tu Video completo
One must admit that in this track, Lucio Battisti accomplishes the not-so-easy task of demystifying the feeling of love. In fact, the protagonist reunites with an old flame and doesn’t seem particularly pleased to feel any emotional excitement for an ex. He can’t let go of her and, instead of considering himself happy about the renewed love, he almost feels like bursting into laughter. It’s true that being too romantic is simply exaggerated (and I know a thing or two about it…).
SOUL SACRIFICE - SANTANA
High and stoned, Carlos Santana and his bandmates take the stage at the Woodstock festival in 1969 and blast "Soul Sacrifice" at full volume. A great way to kick off this Sunday.
Tutti Insieme (Rai2 - 1971)
We must acknowledge those Rai TV executives of yesteryear for having "allowed" the broadcast, on that September 23, 1971, of an incredibly alternative program like "Tutti insieme." It featured all those Italian and non-Italian musicians, long-haired and subversive, playing and singing as if it were an Italian Woodstock in sixteenth notes. I almost suspect that the high-ranking radio and television bigwigs didn't realize the innovative nature of the show... Quite the astute ones!
duetto Mina & Lucio Battisti storici, completo live Teatro 10 23 4 1972)
Before the duet between Mina and Lucio Battisti aired, the high-ranking officials of Rai TV were skeptical about the initiative's success, distrusting Battisti and the group of musicians with him due to their appearance as long-haired revolutionaries. Truly intelligent and visionary, those aforementioned broadcasting directors...
ROLLING STONES--SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL--1968 DAVID FROST SHOW
On Saturday nights, on the BBC, in 1968, you could catch this demonic quintet called the Rolling Stones. Nobody called an exorcist, and the footage is still pretty intense today.
The Rolling Stones - Child Of The Moon (Official Music Video) [4K]
A B-side track by the Rolling Stones to rediscover
Raphael Gualazzi - Follia d'amore (videoclip ufficiale)
There's no denying it: Raphael Gualazzi is a classy pianist full of swing.
Carmen Consoli - Parole Di Burro
Carmen Consoli is not among my favorite Italian singers, but I must admit that "Parole dì burro" is an engaging piece both for its lyrics and its music. Happy Sunday to all Debaserioti.
Jula de Palma - Tua (1960)
In Italy, in 1959, a song like "Tua," sung by Jula De Palma, caused an incredible uproar. And after all, it is a decidedly bold song, by the standards of an era that was far too modest. Jula De Palma received thousands of letters a day full of insults directed at her (I can only imagine that they at least called her shameless and who knows what else they wrote...). There were even attempts to attack her in the street (we hadn’t even reached the stage of having the Internet and social media platforms to fill with insults…). The fact remains that Jula De Palma was a remarkable and unjustly forgotten singer, deserving to be rediscovered. As for the mischiefs of those upstanding citizens, fearful of any hint of sexuality, I wouldn't exclude that they might now be expiating their sins down in the depths of hell...
Erroll Garner plays Misty
Fortunately, my parents listened to a lot of jazz music. I thank my father for introducing me to this "Misty," masterfully performed by a pianist like Erroll Garner, among many other pieces. A composition that still retains, even after so many years, a supreme beauty. Great music for discerning listeners.
1966 FESTIVAL DI SANREMO Caterina Caselli Nessuno mi può giudicare
Of course, it’s an artifact from the beat period in Italian music of the '60s, but there’s no denying that one of the best proposals of the time was indeed Caterina Caselli. Making her debut at the Sanremo festival in 1966, she appeared very innovative by singing about a woman who was anything but submissive and traditional. No wonder she sings that "no one can judge me, not even you," clearly distancing herself from the type of woman who, just two years earlier with Gigliola Cinquetti, was portrayed as trembling because she candidly admitted "I’m not old enough to love you." The latter was a true sexophobic, while Caterina was a spirited girl who took on the risks associated with her choices. It’s as if to say that even in Italy, a Catholic country, something was changing.
Lucio Battisti - Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara (Still/Pseudo Video)
It's true that certain songs listened to in the green years of youth remain indelibly impressed in memory. For this old song by Battisti, my mental association goes to the first time I heard it. It was a sunny day in the spring of 1969. I was still wearing shorts and playing football with other kids, while nearby someone was blasting a little radio playing "Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara." I was too young (only 10 years old) to understand the meaning of the lyrics, well centered on the dialectic between chaste love and profane love, but the melody was so captivating that it became associated with the radiant atmosphere of the budding spring. Since then, I have listened to a lot of beautiful music (not just Lucio Battisti), but for me, it is still difficult today not to appreciate this composition. Perhaps it’s nostalgic sentimentality...
Santana Yours Is The Light feat. Flora Purim

When Carlos Santana recorded high-level music, it was not uncommon for him to collaborate with a Brazilian soloist like Flora Purim. And the intersection produced results like this "Yours Is the Light" from the album "Welcome" released in 1973. It's all about "good vibrations"...
Keith Jarrett Trio - I Fall In Love Too Easily
What has always struck me about this masterful performance by Keith Jarrett is his moaning of pleasure expressed in certain passages of the piece. I can't help but suspect that he derives more pleasure in that moment than when he's with a beautiful stranger. Or, if as much as it seems, I have to think that during the act with the aforementioned lady, Keith is so loud that it causes the intervention of the Good Taste for disturbing the public peace? But, setting aside these erotic digressions, Keith Jarrett remains an excellent pianist.
Keith Jarrett Plays Bach - French Suite No.3 in B Minor, BWV 814 - 3 Sarabande
At the end of the day, if one listens to a jazz pianist like Keith Jarrett performing a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, one might think that there’s nothing better needed in terms of music.
Burt Bacharach - Alfie Amazing version
Burt Bacharach has written many so-called pop songs, but thank goodness this is the best pop you can listen to. Here he performs "Alfie," from the unforgettable film of the same name.
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (1978) • TopPop
Well, when it comes to enchanting voices, even Kate Bush doesn't joke around in "Wuthering Heights." Whether she's so mesmerizing that she triggers a hormonal storm in me and many others is another story...
sinead o'connor - she moved through the fair [live 1997] kieransirishmusicandsurvival
It's a real shame that Sinead O'Connor, after a strong start in the music world in the late 1980s, then faded away for various reasons related to her physical and mental health. However, her 1997 interpretation of an Irish folk song like "She Moved Through the Fair" is of an intensity that cannot leave the listener indifferent. Worth rediscovering, and let's hope she can return to these interpretative heights.
