Miradas 04:48
Suspiros, sin sanar. Tus manos, al final. Y mis ojos ven unicornios y armonia con palomas que se van volando al sur de la esperanza. Volverán. Destinos, que confunden la razón Sonrisas de tul con ojos viejos brazos de papel, nubes de sal y un corazón dibujando sueños en la Tierra Sonrisas, horizontes descubrir Y cantar, para imaginar hombres de paz Miradas que vienen y van en barriletes Volar y ser, ilusión Vernacer una canción y regalar la iluemsiociońón de un sentimiento bajo el sol Palabras que jugarán a la escondida sin querer retroceder e imaginando un renacer

La carezza del vento il profumo dei fior un lontano lamento prende il mio cuor È una musica il sole è una musica il mar quando l'anima sento vibrar Tu, musica divina, tu che mi hai preso il cuore non sai che il canto d'un violin può fare di un sogno il mio destin Se l'anima ti chiama tu mi rispondi amore e le tue dolci note allor fan tremare il cuor Soltanto la tua voce vuol dir piacer per me e il cuore mio ti dice vivrei per te Tu, musica divina, tu che conosci il cuore chissà se un giorno mi dirà se l'amor verrà

Poinciana 08:36
Viento que va Cantando por ahí Árbol verás ya el amor viene aquí Poinciana, tus ramas me hablan de amor. Sombras, la luna pálida mostró Poinciana, puedo sentir la jungla en ti. Y crece, un ritmo muy salvaje en mi. El perfume del amor es mágico aquí. He aprendido a cuidar mi corazón así. Poinciana, si gris el cielo volverá, sé que mi amor por siempre vivirá.

Anywhere you find a trace of red That fills our daily life with pain There's no need to look so very far To find some tears that fall like rain Neither shame, nor anger, fear nor pride Can stop a sunset's colors bright If you feel just like the way I feel Don't let the dark shut out the light On the earth there is a dignity in every life So why do we just hurt each other all the time Making this world insane, filling our minds with lies Without a care, Now and... Then be kind to those who pass your way As we all deal with loss and gain Don't be scared to share your inner child And bring this world a a bit of peace

Io senza te Ho perso anche me Perché senza te Mi manca un perché Io sono una fiamma E luce non dò Io sono una barca E mare non ho Perché senza te Rinnego l`amore Uccido la vita E canto il dolore Tristezza che va In cerca di me Ho paura di vivere senza te Ah, che bei giorni I ricordi mi fanno sentire meno sola Ho tanta voglia Tanta voglia di averti con me Le mie mani han bisogno di te Ma sono triste Non ha niente da darmi la vita com`è La vita esiste Ma ho paura di vivere senza te

Mi corazón esta triste y solo Por ti suspiro cariño por ti solo Porque no lo has visto? Soy para ti cuerpo y alma Mis días pasan con tristeza Y me pregunto por qué me haces esto?En serio te digo Soy para ti cuerpo y alma Es tan difícil de creer No puedo imaginar Que tú rechaces mi amor Acaso pretendes? Que pareces, al final? Si al menos tuviera una chance mas Mi vida está hecha pedazos Sabes soy tuya Quiero amarte Felizmente me rindo, Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Terra Nostra 06:37
Da ri munte va a ru mare chesta terra de Mulise chiu la uarde e bell’appare comm è biell nu surrise Pe ri munte quanta sciure rrespuntann a premavera nu trapunt de culure rrecamate hann a la sera rrecamate hann a la sera E de suon n’armonia fann ’n coppe a l’alberucce ca nu vul a fantasia tanta chiorme de cellucce Da Matese a la marina s’egne l’uocchie de vedute quann arriva la mattina da ru sole ru salut da ru sole ru salut Puo’ la sera a vintun'ora ca ru sole z’alluntana quanta pace spanne ancora nu rentuocc de campana Ma na cosa chiù saprita truov a tutt sti pais è la giuvenezza ardita che sciurisc a ru Mulise che sciurisc a ru Mulise

Award-winning vocalist Chiara Izzi presents her new live recording project, Live in Bremen, marking her second album release on Dot Time Records. Due out March 11, 2022, Live in Bremen flaunts the New York-based, Italian singer-songwriter’s keen ear and dialectal brilliance as she tells stories in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and English. By employing a piano-and-song format alongside the gifted pianist Andrea Rea, Izzi weaves together a variety of cultural subjects, creating an intimate and universal auditory experience for listeners all over the world.

With a foundation of American, Argentinian and Italian jazz music, Live in Bremen embodies a classical richness that is enhanced by Izzi’s stylistic method of blending her lyrics and languages. Borrowing approaches from her several different musical worlds, Izzi began this project by reimagining familiar standards and allowing each song’s original melodies and harmonies to dictate the language of her own arrangement and lyrics. This tactic is displayed on tracks like “Pavane For Peaceful Times,” where Izzi added English lyrics to the Gabriel Fauré composition.

“Through adding these new flavors to established works I hope to share a meaningful story, building on the authenticity already present in these pieces,” Izzi notes. “I am aiming to joyfully honor jazz and its iterations across borders and time while illustrating how artists continually learn, influence and borrow from one another. Music is a language we all know and share.”

Izzi takes inspiration from Esperanza Spalding’s arrangement of the Johnny Green original, “Cuerpo y Alma” (“Body and Soul”), presenting a slower reimagination of the tune, and offering room for Rea to improvise a playful, bouncing piano solo. 

Paying homage to the Italian jazz repertory on her rendition of the D’Anzi-Bracchi classic “Tu, Musica Divina,” Izzi highlights the similarities between the well-known American songwriters and their unsung Italian counterparts.“Samba in Preludio” is a sonic artifact of the 1970s, resonating both Brazilian and Italian influences in a sulky ballad about a broken heart. “Miradas,” which translates to “look” or “gaze” in English, is a collaboration by Italian composer Nicola Corso and Yanina Lombardi. The longtime friendship between the pair is palpable in the inviting atmosphere of the opening composition.

Izzi’s final track travels close to her homeland. “Terra Nostra,” an Italian folk song from the vocalist’s home region, Molise, is sung in a local dialect. A depiction of Molise’s rich culture, lush landscapes and vibrant young community, “Terra Nostra” is a sentimental tune brimming with possibility.

By uniting a variety of dialects, Chiara Izzi showcases her command of several languages while simultaneously guiding her listeners through an advanced and enriching lesson in anthropology. Her carefully curated standards call upon a wide selection of artists, writers, places and ideas — all that have inspired her insightful, unique career. Live in Bremen offers more than the silken texture of a vocal-piano duo tape, but a rare example of a masterful communicator, a woman who is fluent in languages, art form and their multitudes.
