Francesco Tarantini's latest album, Coming From Chicago Saturday Night Sunday Morning, is a tour de force of jazz and blues music. The album showcases Tarantini's virtuosity on the saxophone, as well as his talent as a composer and arranger.
The album opens with the title track, a lively and energetic number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Tarantini's saxophone playing is front and center, supported by a tight rhythm section that keeps the groove going. "Blues for B.B." is a tribute to the late great B.B. King, and features some of Tarantini's most soulful playing on the album.
Other standout tracks include "Chicago Nights," a slow-burning blues number that showcases Tarantini's ability to build tension and release it with a searing saxophone solo. "Sunday Morning" is a more contemplative piece, with Tarantini's saxophone floating over a gentle piano accompaniment.
