About this concert
PAOLO CONTE Alla canzone e ai suoi artisti Umbria Jazz ha dedicato negli anni grande attenzione, ma a Conte ha riservato uno spazio particolare. Perché il jazz, per Paolo Conte, è parte imprescindibile di una storia musicale cominciata proprio come pianista e vibrafonista jazz. Perché in molte sue canzoni si sente chiaramente una cultura, un mood (ed una forma) jazz. Perché, soprattutto, del jazz c'è quell'inconfondibile profumo esistenziale, quel retrogusto di malinconica evocazione che ne rappresenta l'anima più autentica e profonda. E vogliamo anche aggiungere che Paolo Conte ha scritto quella sorta di manifesto identitario che racconta il variegato microcosmo che si agita sotto le stelle del jazz? Certo è che i concerti di Paolo Conte non hanno mai tradito le attese di chi sa che con lui le canzoni possono diventare bozzetti poetici racchiusi in un raffinato guscio musicale. Over the years, Umbria Jazz has dedicated great attention to songwriting and its artists, but it has reserved a special place for Conte. Because jazz, for Paolo Conte, is an essential part of his musical career, which he began as a jazz pianist and vibraphonist. Because a culture, a mood (and a form) of jazz can be clearly heard in many of his songs. And above all, because there is that unmistakable existential scent of jazz, that aftertaste of melancholic evocation that represents its most authentic and profound soul. And shall we also add that Paolo Conte wrote that sort of manifesto that recounts the variegated microcosm that pulses under the stars of jazz? What is certain is that Paolo Conte’s concerts have never betrayed the expectations of those who know that, in his hands, songs can become poetic sketches enclosed in a fine musical shell.

Paolo Conte Biography

Paolo Conte (born 6 January 1937) is a craggy-voiced italian singer, pianist and composer. He both writes and performs his own material and his grainy, resonant voice redolent of Francophone singers like Jacques Brel adds a certain charm to his wistful, sometimes melancholic lyrics.

His performing career began as a vibraphone player in local and touring bands. He began songwriting with his brother Giorgio Conte early on and eventually began writing songs of his own. As a poet, painter and lawyer as well as a musician, he first earned attention during the late '60s and early '70s as the creative force behind hits from Adriano Celentano and Patty Pravo. Conte began his solo career with a 1974 self-titled LP, with subsequent efforts like 1987's Aguaplano and 1990's Parole D'Amore Scritte a Macchina enjoying considerable success throughout Europe. 1998's Paolo Conte, a greatest-hits collection, was his first U.S. release. His compilation album is titled The Best of Paolo Conte.

Some of his hits were used in many movies, for example "Come di" in Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), "Via con me" in French Kiss (1995), Welcome to Collinwood (2002) , "Sparring Partner" in 5x2 (2004) and the "Fritz" Coca Cola commercial that was widely shown in US movie theaters in early 2006. French humourist Pierre Desproges used both in his Chroniques de la haine ordinaire. The lyrics of "Insieme a te non ci sto più" was performed by Caterina Caselli in the Italian 2001 hit-at-Cannes La Stanza del Figlio.

Paolo Conte was a lawyer for years and has only retired recently.
