About the Album
O'Sarracino is the first track on Lello's Italian Job, Volume 2, bassist Lello Molinari's 5th album as a leader. Joining Molinari on the recording are drummer Marcello Pellitteri, saxophonist Dino Govoni and guitarist Sal DiFusco. Together they transform folk and popular songs and classical arias from throughout Italy's rich musical history, reimagining them in stunning modern jazz settings. The insistent tap of Pellitteri's percussion opens "'O Sarracino," a popular song by legendary Neapolitan performer Renato Carosone, given a jazz-funk feel by Govoni's keening soprano, Molinari's slinky electric bass line, and DiFusco's strummed groove.
