Alti & Bassi are five debonair-looking, fun-and-Western-music-loving Italian men whose 'Medley' is exactly that, a 32-song medley. Or more correctly, a medley comprised of seven medleys, beginning with 8 heavily-accented Disney chestnuts ('Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf,' 'Heigh Ho,' Bibbidi Bobbity Bu' and others); a masterful 4-song Platters medley ('My Prayer,' 'Sixteen Tons,' 'Only You' and 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'); a jazzy 'West Side Story' medley ('Maria,' 'Tonight' and an apropos 'America'); an 'I Love America' Broadway medley ('Singin' In The Rain,' 'Cheek To Cheek,' 'Night and Day' and 'New York, New York'); a seven song Beatles medley 'A&B Road' ('Abbey Road,' get it? It includes 'Sgt. Pepper's,' 'If I Fell,' 'Norwegian Wood,' 'Help,' 'All You Need Is Love' and other favorites); a 'Canto Libero' medley of Italian favorites ('Fiori Rosa Fiori Di Pesco,' 'Il Mio Canto Libero' and 'Con Il Nastro Rosa') and finally the 'A&B G's' medley (The Bee Gees of course, '(Saturday) Night Fever,' 'How Deep Is Your Love' and 'Stayin' Alive'). These guys have loved and listened to a lot of records, cassette tapes and CDs to sound as much like these groups as they do. We love all this music, too, and Andrea, Alberto, Paolo, Diego and Filippo have the a cappella chops to do it justice. Listen to the yummy bass lead on 'Sixteen Tons' (which we seem to remember as a Tennessee Ernie Ford hit, rather than the Platters, but no matter), and to the falsetto lead on 'Saturday Night Fever'-these guys may come across as somewhat silly at times (we prefer 'fun-loving') but they can really sing, and they give us a sweet taste of 32 wonderful songs here. Which we think you will enjoy, as we did!
