Legendary jazz accordionist Gianni Coscia, pianist Renato Sellani and singer Anna Maria Castelli met at the Guame Jazz Festival and embarked on a mission to reilluminate the great tradition of Italian jazz. Fone Records captured that intent with the brilliantly recorded audiophile album Something to Remember: Prima che il tempo cambi...
Something To Remember was created by chance during one of the many jazz festivals spread all over the world at the Gaume Jazz Festival. On that night, three soloists happened to meet, sat down and went back, with their memory and heart, to the best songs which had marked significantly their artistic and human experience.
The result was this record with its genuine, refined and essential songs. Instead of virtuosity and affectation we have exalted sounds, colours, timbres and above all emotions, which have been too often neglected. In creating and interpreting these songs, in a strange fusion of accordion, piano and voice, the hope was to leave something which remains for those willing to hear what belonged to the past, great tradition of Italian Jazz, and which can last in the future, just not to forget.
Anna Maria Castelli started her carreer as a jazz singer and is the only Italian artist who was invited for two consecutive years to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.She has recorded four successful CDs and the latest one, whose title is "C'est toujours la même chanson" (Life srl/3 Lune Records) is touring a lot abroad and is having a great success both from critics and audience. "Something To Remember", distributed by Foné, is having a great success also thanks to the excellent accompanists: Gianni Coscia (accordion) and Renato Sellani (piano).
Now, at her fullest artistic maturity, confining her inside a musical or artistic genre is getting increasingly difficult.
She won the Europe Music Prize in August 2002 with "Opera Tango", accompanied by the Uruguayan bandoneonist H.U. Passarella and his quartet, at the latest edition of the important Euromet Jazz Festival. Her love for this musical genre has seen the precious collaboration with M° Luis Bacalov, Academy Award for the soundtrack of the film "Il Postino". With him, she has revived the best Carlos Gardel's tangos as well as two still unpublished pieces by Bacalov himself, with her usual refined interpretation.Recently Tangoseis has replaced the voice of their group with her voice in their latest project, Todotango.
The success of her vast and rich interpretations, appreciated all over the world, witnesses the undeniable qualities of her unique interpretations and lists her among the best and most innovative contemporary artists.

The story of fonè
In the context of classical and jazz music market, fonè proposes three decades of recordings using advanced techniques, aimed at the recovery of the original musical atmospheres.
Each new recording is the result of a passionate encounter between art and the art of execution and aims to recreate and reproduce the same spirit with which the works of the past have been performed. One basic feature that makes the difference between fonè and others, is the recording of musical works in natural places and original, constant production that leads to choose from time to time historically more space? Suitable for: church, theater, villa, living room ...
All this is done by retrieving a simple incision that does not do violence to the music: all the equipment is in high definition. Using pairs of valves Neumann microphones in the years 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48 and M49) using techniques very natural timbre bimicrofoniche field effect. These microphones have an important story: they are the microphones used to record the Beatles at Abbey Road Studio and RCA for the "Living Stereo."
No use is made of electronic manipulation of the signal, nor any artificial correction that if they make a sound easier to carve, it is true that distort so unacceptable. With this method you get to transfer the music information on the standard analog for the production of virgin vinyl 180g & 200g
fonè uses for the standard analog Nagra 4S, Studer C37 and J37 and Ampex ATR 102, the standard for digital, in collaboration with Philips the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology that has opened the doors to the SACD. For all subsequent stages of processing and control, in which it must be a playback of the sound reproduction systems are used very sophisticated.
After the pressing demands of the enthusiast market and after a long series of investigations to ensure the best possible support, the virgin vinyl 180/200 grams, fonè now makes available its most prestigious titles in the LP format.
strong opposition to current trends in the multinational market, tending to offer a product that is increasingly homogenized and devoid of content.
Implementation is of the highest quality and is dedicated to those who appreciate the pursuit of perfection in the field of sound reproduction, to collectors, to the true connoisseur and expert of things beautiful.
