MARCO TAGGIASCO "The Missing Pages" CD

★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

Italian composer/producer Marco Taggiasco, who is a direct descendant of David Foster, has dug up his past works to complete his latest album. This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully enjoy the elegant and sophisticated AOR sound!

"Marco Taggiasco, the composer/arranger/keyboardist nicknamed the 'Roman David Foster,' has revived and compiled here the gems of unreleased music that had been lying dormant throughout his 40-year career. The vintage tracks, which sound as if they had been stored in a wine cellar for a long time, are sweet, rich, and fruity. The additional Burt Bacharach tribute is also wonderful..." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

"In addition to nine original songs written over the past 40 years, there is a tribute to one of my all-time favorite Bacharach songs, "Alfie." Ten songs that truly deserve to see the light of day" (Marco Taggiasco). One of the original songs, "Over You," written by Eric Tagge, is an unreleased track that only exists as a demo by Tagge himself. This and other songs are of such high quality that it's hard to believe they were ever released.
