Bari Session / Various- Bari Session / Various
"I can't begin to adequately express how excited I am to have our first official studio recording, THE BARI SESSION, finally released! Ever since the very first time John, Raimondo, Gianmarco and I played together back in 2008, I've loved this band and knew we had that "special chemistry" that truly makes a band: A BAND. However, since then, our only release thus far has been a double-album entitled LIVE UNDER ITALIAN SKIES that features performances from two live concerts in 2008 & 2012. Due to our extremely busy individual schedules, and the fact that the four of us live in three different countries on two different continents, we've never quite found the ideal time and opportunity to actually go into a recording studio to officially document our band's sound, it's chemistry, and some of the songs that have become part of our standard repertoire in live concerts. Well, THE BARI SESSION has now arrived and it beautifully showcases all of those things (as well as some new compositions), because in August of2019 we were able to find a small window of time to go in and record in a fantastic studio in Bari with a first-rate engineer during one of our Italian tours. I believe the result speaks for itself. We also had a really wonderful experience making this recording and the music just seemed to "play itself," which is always a great sign that the music is "ready" and "cooked to perfection," just like the best Italian dishes! Godetevi un buon ascolto!" (Paul Wertico)

- Toms For Talia
