Opera Meets Jazz - Bel Canto

Document Actions

Being a son of an operasinger, Mike Del Ferro grew up with Opera and Classical music and came to the unique idea to combine Opera with Jazz

"My earliest childhood memories are of my father singing, singing at concerts, at home, in restaurants, with friends, just Belcanto everywhere. It was inevitable with this background, that I should want to make music and had my first classical piano lessons at age nine. As I became older I discovered Jazz and Contemporary Music, and developed a passion for playing the great Jazz standards .Lots of these standards originate from Broadway musicals and have always been a source of inspiration for Jazz musicians. The source of inspiration for this album has been Belcanto. I thought Italian Aria's and Neapolitan songs could also be given a more instrumental interpretation, this concert is the result of my efforts."
