The Best of Paolo Conte

I don't understand Italian, but the music is universal. The piano is "electric", the beat is ever present, the boogie woogie is contagious, the ambiance is plain fun. I enjoy listening to this CD over and over.

Paolo Conte, whose song made in to Mostly Martha and No Reservations, is absolutely marvelous.

A Italian Mel Torme with gravelly voice and perfect timing and phrasing.

IT'S PAOLO CONTE'S GRITTY VOICE THAT PROVIDES THE RAW ENERGY TO DRIVE HIS SONGS. HIS INTERPRETATION OF A SONG PULLS ONE INTO THE HEART OF IT AND ALWAYS LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ITALIAN, EVERYONE PERFORMANCE IS SHEER TOE TAPPING ENJOYMENT. EACH SONG ON THIS CD IS PURE FUN AND YOU WILL COME AWAY FROM LISTENING TO IT WITH AT LEAST ONE SONG ECHOING IN YOU HEAD.

Living in the Northwest the days are gray and long. This CD lifts me up and gives me energy I found Paolo Conte from the movie A Good Year.

I love Paolo Conte's voice and sense of rhythm. I found out about him by watching both movies Mickey Blue Eyes and Mostly Martha and I am hooked. The song Via Via is so compelling that I often listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row. Another plus: the words of the songs are included in the album, so I can follow and learn Italian in the process.
