Alberto Rigoni – Songs for Souls (2022)
Italian virtuoso bassist Alberto Rigoni has gathered an impressive cast of musicians for his “Songs for Souls” album, including keyboard maestro Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater). “Songs for Souls” is a heartfelt and masterful tribute to Rigoni’s father.
This time, Rigoni has ventured into finely crafted progressive rock and fusion. The album features stellar electric bass and keyboard work by Rigoni and Rudess as well as a fantastic set of electric guitarists.
One of the many gems on the album is “L’Origin du Monde”. Rudess says: “I co-wrote a song with Alberto Rigoni and I think it turned out beautifully. He originally sent me a lovely bass track and I let the inspiration flow and came up with the rest!”
The lineup includes Alberto Rigoni on bass; Jordan Rudess on keyboards; Jennifer Batten on guitars; Mark Zonder on drums; Alessandro Bertoni on keyboards; Tommaso Ermolli on guitars; Edoardo Taddei on guitars; Fabrizio Leo on guitars; and Marco Sfogli on guitars.
