Incredibly lovely work from Italian guitarist Franco Cerri – easily one of the best players on his instrument in the 60s – even on both sides of the Atlantic! The setting here is relatively lush – fuller backgrounds with Cerri’s guitar on lead solos – but often with some nice bits of bossa and some of the other delightful flourishes you’d get in Italian charts of the time, particularly some of the soundtrack arrangements. The feel is wonderful – a great expansion of some of Cerri’s small group modes of the earlier part of the decade – and titles include “Ti Basta Dare Tempo Al Tempo”, “I Love You”, “Bluesette”, “Che Faro”, “Tonsambaris”, “Stella By Starlight”, and “Girl From Ipanema”.
