29 World-Renowned Musicians Come Together To Support Grammy Winner's Charity With MUSIC FOR LOVE Vol. 1

"I was cursed by the music. Even when I slept or woke up, I had music in my head. Life is an adventure and a challenge. It is not something to ask for stability. It is a change to continue creation " Miles Davis "Cantabile" by Michel Petrucciani, "Speak Life" a remix of the original track by Grammy award winner Damian Marley, the youngest son of Bob Marley, and the song dedicated to Miles Davis, "Dreaming Miles" are just three of the songs contained in MUSIC FOR LOVE VOL.1. Listening to Fabrizio Bosso's trumpet on a piece by Petrucciani, Riccardo Onori's guitar together with Stefano De Donato's bass on a piece by Damian Marley is not common.

Born from an idea of the Italian textile entrepreneur who lives in the United States Franco Nannucci, which he had following a concert and a recording session in Italy in the summer of 2019, and after taking shape in September of the same year thanks to the intervention by Stefano De Donato, the eclectic founder and bassist of the funk group Dirotta su Cuba, MUSIC FOR LOVE VOL.1, distributed in globally by Music for Love and Maqueta Records will be released on Friday, January 22nd.

"This is a big and ambitious project. It was a real journey, a movie, a puzzle that one by one found the pieces to complete itself. Like magic - says Franco Nannucci - An idea that lasted 15 months until it found its final form. An idea born almost by chance from the dream of being able to listen to Michel Petrucciani playing with Fabrizio Bosso, from a song and message by Damian Marley, and the dream of dedicating a song to Miles Davis. Dreams that I would never have believed I could achieve ".

Thanks to the non-profit organization MUSIC FOR LOVE, founded by Franco Nannucci, aimed at providing tangible and effective financial support to various charity projects around the world, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the album and any concerts/merchandise will be donated to the FABRIZIO MEONI ONLUS FOUNDATION and to the GHETTO YOUTHS FOUNDATION, the charitable organization founded and directed by Stephen, Damian, and Julian Marley, sons of the legend Bob Marley.
