The tune "Estate" has always been one of my favourite jazz standards. In particular I fell in love with its lugubrious Italian lyrics set against the backdrop of some thrilling bossa nova harmonies. My new tune "D'inverno (I Petali Perduti)" picks up on the image of withering petals buried in the snow as a symbol of transcience and passing. I think everyone can relate to irretrievable loss in life, be it the loss of loved ones, be it the loss of love itself.
