Piloo Records & Productions Presents:

 

“ DISGUISE” by ADA ROVATTI

 

 

 

 

 

Ada Rovatti ‘s new work has been maturing over the last few years, since her last recording as a leader is dated 2009. As the cover and title suggest, this project  explores all of Ada’s personalities and this kind of variety is a trademark of her writing and playing.

On this recording a stellar line up of musicians support the project. Guests like Randy Brecker, Adam Rogers, Dean Brown, Zach Brock, and Anne Drummond, all bring the music to inspired heights, and with the strong rhythmic support generated by Janek Gwizdala, Oli Rockberger, Leo Genovese and drummer Dana Hawkins, all the musicians deliver outstanding performances exploring the Jazz, Funk, Rock & Latin idioms.

This CD contains 7 originals tunes penned Ms. Rovatti, each one of them representing different sides of Ada’s love for music and two tunes that she rearranged for the recording: “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin, and borrowed from the rock repertoire, a cutting edge version of “Stairways to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin.
