Gazzara plays Genesis: Play Me My Song

Genesis classics with Piano and Chamber Orchestra

Francesco Gazzara is an Italian composer and musician. The pianist has put together a full double album with his own interpretations of various Genesis classics (from the early days up until 1980). Gazzara is a well known musician in Italy (expecially through Hammond Express and The Piano Room). He has recorded the Piano parts inside Assunta hall, which is located inside Vatican city. The original plan was to produce an album with piano only, but he eventually quickly realized he needs to add some further arrangements for chamber orchestra and also Hammond Organ and the famous Mellotron. As a result, Play Me My Song is a highly interesting piece of work and can be purhcased on Digipak 2CD and 2LP directly at Francesco's Website (see this link). It can also be ordered at amazon-uk (2CD and MP3-Download) and amazon.com (2CD and MP3-Download).
