Celebrating Pino Daniele: A Special Reissue and Tributes on His 69th Birthday

Initiatives are multiplying for March 19, Pino Daniele day. On the day when the 'Nero a Metà' would have celebrated his sixty-ninth birthday and name day, in addition to the event scheduled at the Neapolitan museum Pino Daniele Alive, the release of a reissue of 'Sciò', the first, historic live album of the singer-songwriter, now forty years old, is expected. The original album was a double, now it has become a triple vinyl: the third adds new live tracks: 'Che te ne fotte', 'Ma che ho', 'Io ci sarò' with a guitar solo on the notes of 'O sole mio' and 'Disperazione'. 'Sciò' contains recordings made during concerts between 1982 and 1984: Verona arena (September 1982); Montreux Jazz Festival (July 8, 1983); Bari, Petruzzelli theater (October 24-25-26, 1984); Cannes, Palais des Festival (January 1984); Nancy, 'Jazz pulsation' (October 21, 1984); 'Nyon folk festival' (July 19, 1984); Milan, San Siro (June 24, 1984) and of course Naples, the historic concert at the Mostra d'Oltremare (September 20, 1984). The reissue also includes a poster with photos by Giovanni Canitano and Luciano Viti and an ironic sticker that picks up the horns on the cover.
