Sito ufficiale Steve Albini
The Italian phrase passione e fuoco, "passion and fire," truly describes the music
of singer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Albini. His performances of Italian music
fused with jazz and world rhythms have brought him international acclaim. He has
enchanted audiences throughout the United States and Italy with a blend of musical
virtuosity and artistic passion.
Some of Steve's musical influences include: Domenico Modugno, Renzo Arbore,
Renato Carosone, Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare, Paco De Lucia, Gipsy Kings,
Chet Baker, Chucho Valdes, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra Guiseppe DiStefano, Astor
Piazzolla, Charles Magnante, Art Van Damme, Pino di Modugno, Leon Sash, and
Richard Galliano.
Besides Italian music, Steve enjoys performing the standards of the Great American
Songbook (Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter etc.) as well as his
own compositions. As a studio musician he is often called upon by artists, composers,
and producers to add his touch to their projects. His latest CD release Italia is a
fusion of Italian standards with world, jazz and Latin American musical forms.
