Press Release

After the great and unexpected success of "Trip with the Lady" (2021) - printed in linited edition and not available for a long time - Maurizio Brunod didn't stop and embarked on a new journey accompanied by other marvellous "ladies" (not one, but four acoustic guitars prepared by luthiers Mirko Borghino and Aldo Illotta)  which allowed him to create new and evocative sounds, full of colourful emotions. The Piedmontese guitarist, born in 1968, has been one of the leading exponents of Italian jazz for at least thirty years and has released over fifty album, including six solo guitar. In this new work, as in the previous one, Brunod paid great attention to the quality of the recording and mastering, strictly analogue, choosing vynil record over compact disc. More than a year later, "Trip with the Ladies (Chapter 2)" is finally available also in digital format, for both online streaming and downloading. Eight of the ten tracks on the album are original compositions by Maurizio Brunod. The only two standards are the famous song by Sergio Ortega El pueblo unido, known above all for the interpretation of Inti Illimani, and the wonderful Blue in Green, a ballad by Miles Davis and Bill Evans from the album "Kind of Blue".
