The sun-drenched streets of Rome, the breeze of the Mediterranean, the effortless dolce vita - few places in the world evoke such longing and good memories as Italy, the world's favourite holiday destination. On ITALIA, Till Bronner, Germany's most successful jazz musician and a Grammy-nominated trumpeter and producer, brings the golden age of Italian songwriting back to life, reinterpreting timeless classics from the 1970s with the sophisticated elegance we have come to expect from him.

He pays homage to the great cantautori - the poetic Italian singer-songwriters of the era - adds cinematic flourishes reminiscent of classic film scores, and contributes an original composition that blends seamlessly with the repertoire.

Blending cinematic elegance with irresistible groove, Br nner crafts a lush soundscape that is as evocative as it is effortlessly stylish. Produced by Nicola Conte in Rome and Bari, ITALIA is a tribute to melody, rhythm, and the good life.

The 1970s were a time of cultural openness and artistic exchange in Europe. Italian songs - alongside French chansons, Spanish canciones, and German Schlager - formed a pan-European soundtrack that crossed borders and generations. Italian hits filled French airwaves, lined the shelves of German record stores, and even influenced British artists. It was an era of curiosity and connection, when music served as a shared language of hope and imagination.

Today, as divisions seem to grow, Till Bronner reminds us of what once brought us together - and what still can. ITALIA is an invitation to rediscover the warmth, openness, and spirit of a Europe that believes in itself.
