A LIFE IN MUSIC

How is it possible that I succumb so completely to that music…
At times it takes me by force, throws me to the ground, making my heart beat to its rhythm and the intensity of the moment soars.
At times it makes me fly so high as to caress the bluest part of the sky with a finger…and then, ultimately, it lays me in bed in the foetal position.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HIM

  • ““A charming and genuine pianist, innately a singer”.
  • Andrea Salvini doesn’t behave like a star but he is very self-confident.
  • Crooner, chansonnier, vocalist and devoted to orchestration, looking like a captivating actor more likely from New York or Paris rather than Los Angeles. A theathe musician alchemist who turns classical author’s music into blues, interpreting cleverly the knowledge of melodhy and rhythm.
  • He is aware and pleased of what people say about Paolo Conte, Billy Joel, Fred Buscaglione or Dean Martin.
  • He knows that revival has nothing to do with it, not even unnatural memory or affinity game.
  • Every riff, chord, twist, solo and improvisation stand for new timbres, new pictures and new sound notes to be added to his unlimited musical and life block notes.
  • Songs and music represent a sort of existential therapy to him, together with love, desire, passion and perseverance.
  • To Andrea to make a live concert, compose a new song, arrange a new piece or record, is like going back to his childhood, when he used to play in the village, or like writing a love letter, like a new courting or like the beauty and surprise of a new born crature….
