Gianmaria Testa - Ludwigsburg 2007

A bit of a departure, this post features Italian singer/songwriter Gianmaria Testa, backed by a mighty fine band including Piero Ponzo on reeds and flute, the frequent sparring partner of Carlo Actis Dato.

As I don't really know anything about Testa but just like this show, I will shut up and let the music do the talking (yeah, I know, I know...)
