Antonello Vannucchi, born in one of the seats of Italian culture in Lucca (home to music greats Puccini and Catalani, among others) presents together with born-in-NYC singer Beverly Lewis a unique salute to the late Nicola Arigliano by reprising a 1958 arrangement of AUTUMN IN NEW YORK. Joined by brilliant musicians who formed part of Nicola’s trio Elio Tatti on double bass and Giampaolo Ascolese on drums, this sophisticated track represents an imminent album release celebrating four great world cities. More on Antonello. During his fifty year career he has prominently figured in the music world, including the Quartet and Quintet of Lucca, RAI orchestra, MARC4 - among others. In his 2007 CD MY TURN, Vannucchi stepped forward as the protagonist in this impressive project.
