Perché ti piacerà
Unisce brillantezza orchestrale e groove latino senza scivolare nel mero “crossover”. Gli arrangiamenti accendono i classici natalizi con nuova luce, mentre il corno di Willis resta protagonista con timbro vellutato e frasi cantabili. Ideale per chi ama il Natale, il jazz brillante e l’eleganza DG.
Curiosità
- L’edizione in vinile è il catalogo DG 4867949 con peso dichiarato 180 g.
- Parte delle tracce vede la partecipazione del cantante cubano Carlos Calunga (Buena Vista Social Club).
- Il cuore del disco è una “Cuban Nutcracker Suite” in sei numeri, che reimmagina Lo Schiaccianoci con spezie caraibiche.
