Entirely re-orchestrated in jazz quartet idiom for EITHER WAY, the stand-ards of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer or Duke Ellington sound minimalist on this album in comparison to the previous one, with the exception of "But not for me" where I wanted a move, assisted by the mysterious, heartrending voice of Mamani, towards Africa.
In the other volume of this diptych, devoted to Marilyn, I make a com-pletely personal proposition of the emblematic repertoire of that fragile star, perhaps even more exposed in her singing, than in her acting. You know the place we are going, let me take you there my way...all roads lead to Ella & Marilyn.
Ella, Norma, Black or White... EITHER WAY. To these amazing and unusual women, with all my love and respect..."
