Amazon.com: Music: Italian Music Odyssey My mom was born in Sicily and I was browsing through the CD samples looking for Italian music from her place of birth. There is more to Italian music than the Three Tenors, "O Sole Mio," and "Volare." A burgeoning folk revival has fostered a diverse crop of ensembles and singer-songwriters hailing from throughout the country, including Naples. Although important Italian roots artists like Umbria's Lucilla Galeazzi, the Neapolitan Rua Port'Alba, and the Sardinian group C`lic are included, it lacks several well known artists such as Alessandro Belloni or Mario Crispi. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004YLBS?v=glance   (309 words)

JazzPortraits: Beyond the jazz barrier Miles turns around to me this one time," recalls the 71-year-old New Jersey jazz giant, "and he says, 'Wayne, do you ever get tired of playing music that sounds like music?'. Wayne was always out there on his own plane, orbiting his own planet," Davis once wrote, and he seems unlikely to dock before his Umbria Jazz Melbourne 05 shows this weekend.
