This album, recorded live in the studio, collects some of the most beautiful jazz standards played and sung by absolute champions.

Mina, Danilo Rea, Massimo Moriconi and Alfredo Golino accompany the listener on a journey into the tradition of the great American song in jazz.

To the wonderful ballads, intense and full of emotion as only Mina can do, are added songs orchestrated and arranged by another absolute champion: the maestro Gianni Ferrio. An unmissable songbook starting today on 180 gram vinyl.

In fact, the side of an LP to sound good should not exceed 20 minutes. The remaining 4 songs, to also be published on vinyl, will be included in the next new release in the Dilettevoli Eccedenze series.

All 13 tracks of this project of unreleased songs wanted by Mina in 2006 are however available digitally. The analogue vinyl record version is aimed at audiophiles and collectors who have been waiting for it for a long time

To ensure adequate conservation of your vinyl records, it is advisable to maintain a vertical position, avoiding overlapping or crushing them and compromising their integrity.

Avoid placing them near speakers, washing machines, dryers or other objects that produce prolonged vibrations, as this may damage the vinyl.

It is essential to maintain a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct light, as prolonged exposure to adverse conditions could compromise the quality of the disc.

The ideal room temperature for storing vinyl is generally between 15 and 25 degrees centigrade, avoiding placing them near heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or air conditioners.

As for cleaning, it is advisable to use soft, anti-static cotton.

It is good practice to carry out a light cleaning with the cloth before and after each listen
