Recording information: 1988 - 2004. Arranger: Lester Snell. Italian pop star Zucchero has never hidden his love of American music. In fact, on much of this album--a collection of his artistic collaborations dating from 1988 to 2004--his appreciation for blues and jazz, in particular, is on full display. The most striking song on ZUCCHERO & CO. is "Dune Mosse," which pairs the singer with legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis for a dreamy track that tips its hat to Davis's revered KIND OF BLUE era. Zucchero's blues leanings are revealed on a number of tunes, most notably on "A Wonderful World" (with Eric Clapton) and "Diavolo in Me (A Devil in Me)" (with Solomon Burke), the disc's most energetic song. Regardless of the collaborator, Zucchero's full-bodied vocals stand out, particularly on emotive pop songs, including his cover of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" (with Vanessa Carlton). For fans of American pop that are unfamiliar with Zucchero, this dynamic set is an ideal introduction.   Compilation Appearances French Kiss For Guatemala & Kosovo Pavarotti & Friends For Cambod Best Italian Album In The World Ever Mega Collezione Italinana Bella Italia Overnight Sensational Los Grandes Duetos Duets   Associated Artists and Works Jackson, Randy Jackson, Randy   Technical Info Release Date : 07/12/2005 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 2301 Label : Concord Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00013431230120    Related Videos 11:11: Rodrigo Y Gabriela
