Story & Background
Jimmy Fontana's first eponymous album for RCA, pressed in this rare first edition from 1963, represents a crucial chapter in his artistic evolution. Already known for hits such as "Non te ne andare", the record crystallises his transition from a promising jazz musician to a refined interpreter of light music, whilst retaining his intact imprint as an instrumentalist and arranger. RCA, at the time, invested heavily in its artists, and the care in the production is evident: the recording captures his warm voice and the elegance of the orchestrations, a trademark that would distinguish him in the Italian music scene of the '60s. This initial pressing is a sonic testament to the dawn of a career that would deliver immortal gems, as is evident from the sonic richness that still moves today, a true bridge between the sophisticated jazz world from which he came and the superior quality melodic pop that he would come to dominate.
