THE REVIEW
Light music that "crosses" several decades and generations, adjusting its frequency, always in tune with the events of any era. A little jazz, a little soul, a little disco. A little funky, or perhaps, an elegant and skillful cocktail of all this, everything that G.B. was capable of doing.
His voice, an instrument to be played, vocalizations that imitated the solos of his guitar, to become one with it, sometimes hard to distinguish. Natural talent, always in search of new and refined musicality and vocal combinations (many productions with icons of the international music scene) to present to that audience whose heartstrings he could touch through the strings of his guitar. With the solid jazz foundation he had, he could do whatever he wanted with music... and he did it.
He chose a not particularly demanding path, perhaps light, maybe commercial, but he had fun and was moved and made others have fun and feel moved... in short, it might not be nouvelle cousine... but certainly excellent traditional cuisine, the kind that unites and warms the hearts.
