“I have been wanting to record with Andrea Pozza for twenty years, so this was a great opportunity for me. In addition we recorded at home in Certaldo Alto so the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. I am look­ing forward to hearing how I sound without any effects – just the very good natural acoustics of the Castello.”Scott Hamilton

Few times in life one has the feeling to be in the right place at the right time. It happened to me in the cellar of Hotel Il Castello in Certaldo on the occasion of the recording of this album. To record with Scott Hamilton, one of my all time favourite musicians, in an extraordinary place with invaluable microphones skillfully maneuvered by Giulio Cesare Ricci, a real “guru” of hifi recording, enjoying the hospitality Alfred Kramer (and his snare drum and brushes in a couple of takes) and the amazing food at Il Castello – what do you think, isn’t that enough?

1 review for I Could Write A Book

    This was a recent purchase and my first Jazz album purchase. I was looking for a Jazz album which would allow me to relax to the music when I wanted but hold my interest during attentive listening and the album delivered on those scores.

    I was a little unsure about two takes of “Afternoon in Paris” but they both worked really well. The addition of the snare drum and bushes on “Limehouse Blues” was a master stroke. I did not not want the track to end!

    The album has convinced me to further explore Jazz.
