Giuseppe Bassi said:

For 10 years, I’ve never had an urge to make CD as leader. I needed an encounter. Then, I met Domenico Sanna. I talked about my favorite music and shared all with him. To remember such our encounter, we decided to enter into studio, in duo, in which the swing, melodies, interplays can be more intimate and crystallized. I hope people don’t care absence of drums, instruments developed for, and with jazz. We played some standards and our compositions, where swing combines with our sentiments totally set free. We hope that attentive and disengaged listeners could enjoy every moment of this CD, played by heart.

義大利低音大提琴遇上義大利鋼琴。
他說：10年來我從未有過衝動想以leader身份出一張CD。
I needed an encounter.
我需要一個不期而遇。

一個義大利男人（Giuseppe Bassi）在紐約
與一個英國男人（Sting）在紐約
包括我自己在內，人們對紐約都有不同情意結

一定是因著某種契機Bassi寫下了這一曲『紐約地鐵情歌』
如他自己形容：played by heart.

Bravo & Grazie！
