London Tango CD Launch – The Romano Viazzani Ensemble – The Pheasantry 15th March 2020 – The Romano Viazzani Ensemble have chosen The Pheasantry to be their first in a series of concerts launching their new album London Tango which takes Argentine Tango and adds a London twist. Romano Viazzani relaunched his new ensemble at The Pheasantry, almost exactly two years ago to the day, so where better to launch their much-anticipated new album.

We are happy to announce the return of Stefano Oggero from Beltrami Accordions, and now his very own company Liuteria Oggero in Stradella, will be over in the UK at the end of February 2020 and will be undertaking repairs and tuning work on accordions. Please email us at info@zzmusic.uk to book a visit for an assessment and estimate for any repair work.

The much awaited debut album by the Romano Viazzani Ensemble.  Superb performances by world class musicians and singers from from the worlds of Jazz, Classical, Latin-American and the West End Theatre. All the fire and passion of Argentine tango but with an infusion of London added to to the mix. Eight new compositions and some classic Argentine, European tangos too with a good dose of Astor Piazzolla make this an irresistible album for any collector.

The Romano Viazzani Ensemble releases Libertango as a single ahead of the forthcoming London Tango Album release on Spotify, Napster, iTunes and Apple Music

Stunning new Classical Accordion CD by Claudio Jacomucci – Orpheus’ Ballad – A counterpoint of ancient and contemporary music. Claudio Jacomucci hits the spot again contrasting ancient and modern for classical accordion. CD review by Romano Viazzani

Fifi la Mer releases two new CDs – two wonderfully entertaining new albums. Her appealing vocals which convey a wonderful quality of almost childlike innocence but one shouldn’t be fooled by that because many of her lyrics contain cheeky and humorous cheeky twists. Fifi, accompanies herself on accordion and credits herself for whistling too (one can almost hear her chuckling at the the delight of this skill!) in this appealing and often humorous take on many French chansons and Standards across both two fun albums. She is aided and abetted by some truly wonderful musicians. Colin Oxley on Guitar, Julian Bury on Double Bass and Tenor Sax, Alex Garnett on Clarinet, Tenor sax, and vocals, and Olly Wilby on Clarinet and Tenor Sax.

(In Italian and English)

Many performers find they can play perfectly well when they practise but then in performance they lose focus, or show outward signs of nervousness which prevent them from giving a performance they are worthy of. This book will help conquer this all to common problem with professionals, students and amateurs alike. It will help one to understand why it happens and how to counteract it. It is the next best thing to having a one to one or group session with this great lady herself.
