Ind'o ciel stann' e stelle (The stars in the sky)

[alfstone]

This one is a gift.

A birthday present.

This tune wasn't composed by me, but my great friend, and musical partner, Roberto, "robtob" here on Songcrafters. Roberto composed it in 1973 and I always thought, and still think, it's really a great, great tune. All these years I've kept this melody - and its chords - in my mind.

Now, actually Roberto is recovering from a very serious health problem, so...Roberto, this one is my gift for your birthday, tomorrow 9 November.
Please get well soon, it's been too long since our last collaborations...

Sax: no, it's a RealTrack by Band in a Box

I really liked the sing along too!

Very nice birthday present! I do hope Roberto is feeling better soon.

Love the Bossa Nova feel on this track, and your vocalizing here reminds me a bit of the great João Gilberto. Wonderful stuff.

Hope Reberto is on the road to recovery all the best?

Very smooth here Alfredo. Lovely guitar work and a very nice arrangement all round. Great production as well. A great present for your friend.

My wishes to Roberto.

Excellent jazz number! Could be from a movie soundtrack from the Seventies - especially on the sax spots... Enjoyable solo guitar work from 3:30>

Bravo Alfredo!
