The story behind
The song Domani, with its duration of 5 minutes and 5 seconds, presents us with a sonic journey that reflects the evolution of an artist with deep roots in jazz. From his beginnings as a clarinetist in a Roman jazz band, where he shared space with figures like Fabrizio Zampa and Massimo Catalano, Lucio Dalla demonstrated a restlessness to explore the limits of musical expression. His initial training in jazz was manifested in his way of approaching the voice, experimenting with spontaneous scat-style vocalizations, a technique that Adriano Celentano also cultivated in his time.
The influence of artists like James Brown is perceived in his particular use of the voice, often described as dissonant and rough, an approach that sought unexpected variation and moved away from the melodic conventions of the time. This exploration led him to traverse various musical stages, from beat to rhythmic experimentation, culminating in a singer-songwriter song that transcends the borders of Italian melody. It was Gino Paoli who, upon discovering his talent, encouraged him to embark on a solo career, recognizing the potential of his unique style.
