Patrizio Buanne is veritably obsessed with the sound and style of the 1950s and '60s. As a child, he won an Elvis impersonation competition when he dressed as a young version of the King, and he grew up listening almost solely to Italian or Italian-inspired music from that same time period. And now, with his debut album, The Italian, he is able to sing many of the songs he loves. Recorded in London with the Royal Philharmonic, The Italian often harks back to the sound of the original recordings, like in Jimmy Fontana's "Il Mondo," Engelbert Humperdinck's "A Man Without Love," or Mario Lanza's "Come Prima," and Buanne sounds good, his baritone blending well with the orchestra. However, Buanne runs into problems when he tries to modernize the classics. While "Parla Più Piano," from The Godfather, starts out nicely, the addition of a dance-like drumbeat sounds corny and forced. Even worse is the cover of Fontana's "Che Sarà," which turns the song into an easy listening radio favorite, culminating in a gospely choral extravaganza, with alternating phrases from the crooning Buanne, who transforms the lines of leaving one's prospectless town (but with the intention of returning) into overly dramatic lovesickness, and the choir, whose sharp interpretation of the normally fluid Italian syllables gives a threatening feel to the piece. The only truly successful of these adaptations is "L'Italiano," which adds a nicely moving piano line, an electric guitar, and a brass section to the already great song, and sounds new but not kitschy. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of "Home to Mamma," which Buanne helped co-write. It's a bizarre mix of "Funiculi, Funicula," Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," and the Italian male's devotion to his mother, and is more confusing than anything else. The same adjective can also be applied to the Italian-language version of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" (called "Alta Marea" here), or the closer, "Credi in Te," which is reminiscent of both Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow Connection" and Andrea Bocelli. Buanne has a fantastic voice, and his genuine love of the music is apparent, but he needs to stop trying to add so much to the songs, and just sing them how they were meant to be sung. ~ Marisa Brown

Buanne also tries new adaptations of classics, like in "L'Italiano," which adds a nicely moving piano line, an electric guitar, and a brass section to the already great song, and sounds new but not kitschy. Not all of the tracks are covers: Buanne helped co-write one of the songs on the album, "Home to Mamma," which is sung to the tune of "Funiculi, Funicula," and there is an Italian-language version of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over," as well. Patrizio Buanne has a fantastic voice, and his genuine love of the music he grew up to is more than apparent on his debut album. ~ Marisa Brown

| | Il Divo CD (2005)
Italian CD music
$9.29 IL DIVO gives the classical/pop crossover a twist, via a quartet of singers whose vocal chops and model-like looks make them four times the heartthrob threat of predecessor Andrea Bocelli. Masterminded by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, Il Divo resonates with an international appeal, thanks to the disparate backgrounds of Sebastien Izambard (France), Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (United States). Further solidifying the pop quotient is the involvement of Britney Spears/Backstreet Boys producers Per Magnusson and David Krueger.
Lush orchestral arrangements are applied to Spanish-language readings of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi)" and Frank Sinatra's signature "My Way (A Mi Manera)," enhancing the romantic sweep of the originals. Although much of Il Divo's repertoire is performed in Spanish or Italian, the group also offers up the English-language tunes "Mama," "The Man You Love," and "Every Time I Look at You," which features swelling strings and light piano. As a bonus, the album includes a hidden track--an Italian version of "Unchained Melody," which is tailor-made for Il Divo's bold, dramatic phrasing.
Ensemble: Stockholm Session Strings.
Il Divo: Carlos Marin, David Miller , Sebastien Izambard, Urs Buhler (vocals).
Additional personnel: Mathias Venge (guitar, programming); Esbjörn Öhrwall, Fridrik Karlsson (guitar); Jannika Gustafsson (violin); Gavyn Wright (strings); Jan Bengtsson (flute); Bengt Rosengren (oboe); Maj Widding (bassoon); Hans Larsson, Rolf Nyqvist (French horn); Per Magnusson (piano, keyboards); Dave Arch, Kristoffer Nergårdh (piano); Steve Mac (keyboards, synthesizer); Andy Hill (keyboards); Tomas Lindberg (bass instrument); Chris Laws (drums); Frank Ricotti, Karl Thorsson (percussion); Josef Larossi, David Krueger, Andreas "Quiz" Romdhane (programming); Emil Heiling, Anders Von Hofsten, Maria Diephuis, Linda Norrgård (background vocals).

| | Best Of The Guess Who CD (1977) Bonus Tracks
Italian songs
$6.79 The Guess Who always seemed a bit like the Canadian predecessor/counterpart to Grand Funk Railroad, but they typically fared far better with the critics because of the versatility that they possessed. That trait is very evident on this collection of hits and great songs. From the opening "These Eyes," with its orchestral strings and Zombies-like baroque pop feel to the classic AOR crunge of "American Woman," the Guess Who played a wide variety of music. It is sometimes hard to believe that the same group that brought the world the jazzy "Undun" and the CS&N-ish hippie anthem "Share the Land" is also responsible for the rocking "No Time." This 11-track collection paints a very entertaining picture of a mutli-talented band and is a perfect introduction for the casual fan. ~ Gary Hill and Tim Sendra
Digitally remastered by Joe Lopes (December, 1987, RCA Recording Studios, New York).
Additional Tracks
The Guess Who: Burton Cummings (vocals, keyboards); Kurt Winter, Randy Bachman (guitar); Jim Kale (bass guitar); Garry Peterson (drums).

| | Israel Iz Kamakawiwo'Ole Alone In Iz World CD (2001)
Italian CD music
$13.29 While the name Israel Kamakawiwo'ole falls trippingly off few tongues, the Hawaiian singer better known as "Iz" was one of the biggest stars in his home state. Iz first came to public attention as a member of the popular Hawaiian group known as the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau. His subsequent solo career brought even greater fame, and countless fans were saddened at his untimely death in 1997. Those who mourn his passing will be gladdened by the posthumous release of ALONE IN IZ WORLD, compiled from various recording session outtakes.
While one might expect a big, deep sound to emanate from a gargantuan-sized body like that of Iz, the hefty singer actually possessed a gorgeous, fragile tenor voice full of tenderness and delicacy. That voice is put to use here on tunes that alternate between voice-and-ukelele solo performances (Iz was no slouch on the uke) and more fully arranged tunes enhanced after the singer's death. Whether crooning in his native tongue or in English, Iz cuts right through to the heart of the listener with his pure, emotive tone.
Contains an untitled hidden track after "In This Life."
Recorded in Hawaii. Includes liner notes by Jon De Mello.
Personnel includes: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (vocals, ukulele); Mel Amina, Barry Flanagan (guitar).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

| | Chill In: India CD (2005)
Italian CD music
$9.69 After recording two volumes of "Buddha Sounds" (volume two received the Gardel Award in Argentina for Best Electronic Album), the renowned producer Seoan presents "Chill In India". This is an album that not only recovers the spirit of "Buddha Sounds", but also includes the participation of the cream of PMB's artists. In doing so, people such as No oN, Rhod, Ronan Portela, Index, Dual Sessions, Debaires and Sandy Parker got together to contribute their talents to make, along with Seoan's own compositions, an enigmatic piece that transforms into an oneiric journey to the East, where the electronic relaxation of downtempo combines with deep Hindu sounds.
Mixing the ancient with the ultramodern, producer Seoan assembles a compilation that offers mellow electronica melded with Hindu music. CHILL IN: INDIA includes tracks by Lila Liu, Oman Chali, and Sandy Parker, among others.
| | Tales Of South African Jazz CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom
Italian music CDs
$15.35 As far as it goes, this 15-track overview, Tales of South African Jazz, is well thought out. There are tracks by many artists here who are either completely unknown to American audiences, or who have been heard so infrequently only connoisseurs of the genre know their names, let alone their music. So here is a slab with the beautiful airy sound of the townships as it was, and as it is. The music collected here crosses decades. For instance, there is Hugh Masekela's (easily the most well-known artist included) read of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" from the early '70s, and Jimmy Dludlu's smooth jazz "Linda," which could have been recorded last week. But these cuts are more exception than the rule. The music of the townships is reflected mightily in cuts such as "Across Africa" by Jack "Big Voice" Lerole, and Sipho Gumede's "Township Jive," Prince Kupi's "Bosotsi," is another excellent example of the joyous, dancing harmonics and rhythms that are a trademark of South African jazz. While there is nothing to complain about on this set, there are important people left off it. For one, where is Dollar Brand (or rather, as he is known today, Abdullah Ibrahim)? He exported the music wholesale form South Africa to the world. Also, the great saxophonist Dudu Pukwana is missing from this set, as is bassist Johnny Dyani. These are big, big names who played with all manner of Western and European music and exported the rhythmic and harmonic traits central to South African jazz, and even recorded in their homelands before leaving. Ibrahim actually moved back to the region after it was liberated! This is confounding and no small complaint. That's no reason not to purchase the collection -- far from it -- it's very fine, but in no way should it be regarded it as comprehensive. ~ Thom Jurek
