Passaporto Per L'italia
A tribute to Italy! First time official reissue, sourced from the original master tapes. the Milan based imprint Dialogo returns with this compilation published in Italy by RCA Victor in 1962 - a precious historical document of some important international jazz and pop artists who came to Italy and left their marks, influencing the generations of those golden years. Includes Chet Baker with Ennio Morricone's Orchestra, with 'Il Mio Domani' (My Tomorrow) and 'So Che Ti Perderò' (I Know That I'll Loose You) and Helen Merrill with 'Estate' (Summer) and 'Nessuno Al Mondo' (Noboby In The World), two recordings sung for the first time in Italian. She agreed to record two 'light' songs because the Orchestra that performed them was conducted by Armando Trovajoli, a qualified exponent of Italian jazz and an extreme modernist. Also featuring Paul Anka with the Ray Ellis Orchestra, Perez Prado and His Orchestra and Neil Sedaka and the Stan Applebaum Orchestra.
