Enzo Avitabile (born 1 March 1955 in Naples, Italy) is an Italian saxophonist and singer-songwriter. He plays a fusion of World music and Jazz fusion music, rooted in Neapolitan traditions and characteristic dialect. He tours with his band, going under the name of Enzo Avitabile & Bottari. Bottari is a traditional rhythm from southern Italy. It involves percussion elements such as wine barrels, wooden drums and the like. Avitabile keeps the Bottari culture in mind while experimenting with fusion Jazz (sax, trumpets, etc.). In the past he has collaborated with Pino Daniele, Edoardo Bennato, James Brown, and Tina Turner, among others. With his Bottari lineup, he was nominated for the prestigious 'Audience Award' in the 2005 BBC Awards for World Music. In 2012 he was the subject of Jonathan Demme's docu-movie ''Enzo Avitabile Music Life''. In the same year, he recorded "Black tarantella", an award winning record with new songs that included duets and collaborations with outstanding international musicians from Europe, America and Africa like, among others, David Crosby, Bob Geldof and Franco Battiato. == Discography == *''Avitabile ''(1982) *''Meglio Soul'' (1983) *''Correre in fretta ''(1984) *''SOS Brothers'' (1986) *''Punta il naso a Nord'' (1988) *''Alta tensione'' (1988) *''Street Happiness ''(1988) *''Stella dissidente ''(1990) *''Enzo Avitabile'' (1991) *''Easy'' (1994) *''Aizetè ''(1996) *''Addò'' (1996) *''O-Issa'' (1999) *''Salvamm'o munno'' (2004) *''Sacro Sud'' (2006) *''Festa, Farina e Forca'' (2007) *''Napoletana'' (2009) *''Black tarantella'' (2012) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enzo Avitabile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
