The musical program from the Tonolo & Biancheti Duo is very original. It includes Slow Hot Wind by Henry Mancini, Show Type Tune by Bill Evans, Get Out Of Town by Cole Porter, I Should Care by  Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston and Sammy Cahn, Comrade Conrad by Bill Evans, Chovendo Na Roseira by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Your Story by Bill Evans, Utah by Steve Lacy, and Goodbye by Gordon Jenkins.

The sounds of the instruments: tenor and soprano saxophone, flute, flutax, and guitar – go perfectly with the acoustics of the recording venue and are fully enhanced by the natural sound.

This album is part of the recording project that Giulio Cesare Ricci has been producing for several years at the ancient cellar of the Palazzo di Scoto di Semifonte in Certaldo Alto (FI). The recording was created with the legendary Neumann Valve (Tube) microphones, DSD stereo recording on the Merging Technologies Pyramix Recorder using dCS A/D and D/A converters.

No editing was done on this album. All the tracks on this record are heard as they were performed.
