Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, specializing in Baroque music, playing original instruments, but incorporating a rock-style rhythm section of synthesizer, bass guitar and drums, led by Maestro Gian Piero Reverberi, who is also the principal composer of all of the original Rondo Veneziano pieces. The unusual addition of modern instruments, more suitable for Jazz, combined with Reverberi's arrangements and original compositions, have resulted in lavish novel versions of classical works over the years. As a rule in their concert tours, the musicians, mostly women, add to the overall Baroque effect wearing Baroque-era attires and coiffures.

Another goodie from John (USA) !!...the sultry voice of another forgotten singer who should have had more success and become more well known...It's well worth a listen to and reminisce about the quality of the singers of yesterday !!...A1+++
Jane Fielding was only 21 when she made these recordings in 1954. Her voice, low and warm, with a fine phrasing, revealed a natural affinity for jazz, something confirmed by the calibre of the stellar West Coast jazzmen she could call on for these rare examples. This album, embraces a more intimate mood, and her musical empathy with Lou Levy and Red Mitchell is confirmed by the jazz-trio effect they achieve. her fine talent.

Mr Entertainment is a good title for "Brucey" when he was comparing "Sunday Night At The London Palladium" he used to perform with some of the top singing and dancing artists of that period !! notably "Sammy Davies" and others !!......This L/P is some of his early vocals and shows his "Music Hall" capabilities !!!
9. When I See An Elephant Fly
Title of this one is "Portrait Of Peter Nero" its an Italian release (I think) it does also say on the back cover "Buenos Aires" so it could be an "Argentina" release....it came via Belgium so it has traveled well !!....Its Peter at his frantic best !!
