Renzo Arbore e i suoi Swing Maniacs

The Swing Maniacs Orchestra accompanies Renzo Arbore on his recently-issued CD “Tonite Renzo Swing”, which features a fun, all-Italian repertoire of “spaghetti swing” taking us back to the songs of Natalino Otto, Alberto Rabagliati, Ernesto Bonino and other pro-American revolutionaries from the period before and after the Second World War. “It’s the music I heard as a small child but with the sounds I listened to in my youth”, says Arbore. The music on his new CD with the Swing Maniacs includes a rockabilly number by Brian Setzer, two ballads by Modugno ( “Piove” and “Stay here with me - Resta cu’mme”) and covers a range of styles from traditional jazz to the Charleston, boogie, the Platters and the authentic Arbore style of the seventies, when his “bad habit” of reinterpreting Italian swing was already evident in his work with the Barilla Boogie Band on the TV show “Quelli della Notte”.
