Info for Canzoni (10 years anniversary)

Songs, das sechste Album von Chiara Civello, das am 6. Mai 2014 von Sony Music veröffentlicht wurde, das erste, auf dem die Jazz-Songwriterin ausschließlich als Interpretin auftritt, feiert dieses Jahr sein zehnjähriges Jubiläum. Das von Nicola Conte produzierte Album, das analog zwischen Bari, New York und Rio de Janeiro aufgenommen wurde, hat sich als äußerst erfolgreich erwiesen und wurde in Tausenden von Exemplaren verkauft und mehrfach neu aufgelegt. Anlässlich des zehnjährigen Jubiläums hat die römische Sängerin beschlossen, an einer Neuauflage zu arbeiten (wahrscheinlich Ende 2024 oder Anfang 2025) und den Sommer 2024 Konzerten zu widmen, bei denen sie die wunderschönen Lieder dieses Werks vortragen wird, eine Sammlung von Themen, die von den 1960er Jahren bis heute reichen und das künstlerische Leben von Chiara Civello geprägt haben, wobei sie Jazz mit Northern Soul, Latin Jazz mit Blue-Eyed Soul mischt. Songs ist eine Hommage an die italienische Musik: „Io che non vivo senza te“, „Io che amo solo te“, „I mulini dei ricordi“ und „E penso a te“ sind nur einige der Lieder, die live gespielt werden, zusammen mit einigen „Überraschungen“, die speziell für dieses Konzert entwickelt wurden. Chiara wird von ihrem Quartett begleitet.

Chiara Civello
An Italian singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist with a strong international background, who since the beginning has made hybridization, the mixing of different languages the hallmark of her artistic identity.

Chiara Civello, Roman by birth, has divided her life between Italy, the United States and Brazil. With six records under her belt, Chiara worked with many international artists over the past years. She collaborated with Burt Bacharach, Gilberto Gil, Ana Carolina, Chico Buarque, Esperanza Spalding, Al Jarreau and James Taylor. She also performed playing the piano on Gilberto Gilles European summer tour in 2018 for the Refavela 40 project.

After her study time at famous Berklee Music School she moved to NY, of course automatically connected to the Nuyorican jazz scene and continued to line up gigs in jazz clubs… A chance meeting with producer Russ Titelman (James Taylor, Paul Simon, Chaka Khan…) changed her life: he encouraged her to write her own songs, finding her own way without turning her back on her roots. Signed with Verve in 2005, her debut album (Last Quarter Moon) laid the foundations of her universe: that of a multilingual singer (Italian and English on this first album), a pianist and guitarist, who refuses to be bound by stylistic or linguistic shackles.

Tony Bennett claimed her to be „the best jazz singer of her generation“!

Gilberto Gil, Ana Carolina, Chico Buarque, Esperanza Spalding of course all heeded her call when offered a duet on Canzoni, an album produced by Nicola Conte with arrangements by Eumir Deodato on which Chiara covered torch songs that were symbolic of her heritage, in this way she has of combining the melodic strength of Italian songs with the harmonies and rhythms of jazz, blue-eyed soul and bossa nova. Come to see her live, her great talent and strong voice and enthusiasm on stage.

Chiara Civello joined forces for the second time with Marc Collin, French musician, film music composer, record producer and founder of the Nouvelle Vague project. After their first collaboration with Marc in 2017 on the album ‚Eclipse‘, they presented in January 2022, 12 classic French chansons all originals written between 1945 and 1975. The album is entitled: „CHANSONS“ (Chiara Civello sings international French standards).

These songs, carefully selected from artists such as Michel Legrand to Charles Aznavour, Charles Trénet, Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel or Gilbert Bécaud and Francis Lai are mostly well known but nevertheless surprising, as they have crossed borders for more than 70 years sometimes without reference to their French heritage.

Marcs production is pure with a little retro touch; a sort of vintage minimalism and covers a variety of styles from swing to Cuban rhythms through soul and blaxploitation, Chiara’s intimate voice, often baring her soul, simply wonderful and sensitive.

„The beauty, charm and allure of singer/pianist/songwriter Chiara Civello’s debut…makes for an auspicious beginning and marks the first revelation of the New Year.“ Billboard

„Her combination of personality, soulfulness and sophistication [is] striking.“ The International Herald Tribune

„She’s more than a great singer, she’s a real musician and composer, and I love her dearly.“ Phil Woods
