Italian Songs and Big Band sound with an outstanding singer

Giovanni Costello makes a 'bella figura' in every way, not only on stage. He elegantly combines canzone, soul, pop and jazz - his role models are Rossini, Verdi and Puccini, Nat 'King' Cole, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra on the other. And, of course, James Bond belongs to this list, certainly not as a singer, but as an elegant man who loves a good challenge and knows how to handle it.
After numerous concerts, tours and four own albums, he feels 'more mature and more philosophical', as he says, something that 'is also reflected in the lyrics'. He has seen and experienced a lot in his life to interpret 'True Italian Stories' credibly.
His songs tell stories, mostly romantic, but always honest. With 'lo dico di no', he says 'no' to the seductions of life, well - mostly. The song 'Meglio Stasera' by Henry Mancini, which he wrote for the film 'Pink Panther', is a tribute to the 60s. With Eros Ramazotti's hit 'Se bastasse una canzone' he jumps into the 90s.
Paolos Conte's 'Via con me' should especially captivate the lovers of the Italian Cantautores, as dedicated and free as he performs this song. And with a wink he sings Fred Buscaglione's 'CheBambola'. He already sang the German version of the song together with Götz Alsmann on stage. Conversely, Costello translated the 'Illusionen' of the great Udo Jürgens into Italian for 'Non avessi te'.
