Elisa Minelli

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The album "Jazz Giant" by Bud Powell is the first jazz album I have ever listened to at the age of 12. Thanks to this album I started to listen to jazz music and I chose to deepen the study of this genre. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Cannonball Adderley, Ballads Remastered Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny, Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Ennio Morricone, Morricone 60 I love classical music, film music and jazz. I think that instrumental music has a lot to say. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “True Love for Christmas Eve” I love Christmas time and I have chosen this song of mine because it is my first jazz composition. It deals with all we need for Christmas (and the rest of the year): true love in a relationship, in family and friendship. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I had the opportunity to enroll in two masterclasses held by the great jazz educator Barry Harris. There I had the chance to sing in jam sessions with musicians from all over the world: Vince Benedetti, Luigi and Pasquale Grasso, Claudio Ottaviano... Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Of course, there are so many original songs I want to record. Stay tuned!
