Piacenza is the document of a memorable concert held at the G. Nicolini Conservatory in Piacenza as part of the “Musiche Nuove A Piacenza” festival. In an intimate mood, John retraces the highlights of his long and legendary career, performing on a magnificent Steinway Grand Piano. An essential album for refined tastes, recorded to state-of-the-art standards and crowned by a bonus track: “Sea Song” by Robert Wyatt, performed in duet with the very young Annie Barbazza during the soundcheck.
