Jula de Palma & Lelio Luttazzi: Mi piace
This gem of classic Italian jazz came to me from a dear conductor friend in Rome. (He specializes in baroque repertoire, but no matter.) I’ve had trouble finding sheet music for it, or any information at all really, but its lulling, languid mood never fails to enchant. Jula de Palma is an Italian singer whose early career was closely associated with Lelio Luttazzi, a performer and composer of many stripes who made a decades-long career in Italian radio and television.
Promising young baritone Jacob Scharfman is current graduate student at The Juilliard School and a NYFOS Emerging Artist alum.
