Paolo Conte - The Best Of (1998)
VBR incl. covers
PAOLO CONTE
L'avvocato col vizio del jazz
Paolo Conte (born in Asti, 6 January 1937) is a famous Italian singer. He both writes and performs his own material and his grainy, resonant voice redolent of French singers like Jacques Brel adds a certain charm to his wistful, sometimes melancholic lyrics. His compilation album is entitled The Best of Paolo Conte.
His song Come di was used in the 1999 movie Mickey Blue Eyes.
This is a strange best-of. It features Paolo Conte's (the Italian Tom Waits and Serge Gainsbourg rolled into one) finest songs, but most of the tracks here are re-recorded versions of his RCA material and, to top it off, the disc is a remastered best-of, making the originals doubly absent. There is certainly charm in hearing the musically mature Conte sing "Elisir" once more, or "Sotte le Stelle del Jazz," or "Bartali," but there was something in those older versions, with their dime-store recording techniques, that somehow made them wilder and more untenable as recording industry product. The wildness, after all, is what gave Conte his rough charm. That said, certain tunes, such as the irrepressible "Happy Feat," the gorgeous tango "Alle Prese con una Verde Milonga," and the beat rant "Hemingway," are served well by the re-recording, in that Conte has grown into them with a certain charm missing from the originals. Anyway you cut it, it's still him -- greasy and full of pronouncements about sex, death, jazz, and poetry. He scats, sings, talks, growls, and careens wildly across his tunes like a drunken sailor baying at the moon in places, and that's what listeners love him for. So yes, this is a true best-of, with different nuances on the more vintage material that deepen and widen listeners' view of Conte, the poet and jazzman. Review by Thom Jurek allmusic.com
