Behind the album

One place, four changes of light

Italian Seasons follows an idea that kept returning in our Italian releases: the same street can feel entirely different depending on the month and the hour. Across twenty pieces, lounge jazz and bossa nova move from spring's first open doors to the slower warmth of summer, then into autumn and winter.

It was made as an album to return to, rather than a single continuous mood. A track can suit a dinner or a sunset on its own; listening through lets the change of season do the work. The full track notes remain below for anyone who wants to follow that route.

  3. April Espresso – a lively swing, playful café chatter distilled into music.
  4. Terrace in Bloom – guitar & piano in call-and-response, airy and intimate like flowers opening.
  5. Tuscan Spring Rain – mellow bossa with reflective guitar, soft rain over rolling hills.
