Little Wing (comp. Jimi Hendrix - piano interpretation by Giorgio Rizzarelli)

Piano interpretation by Giorgio Rizzarelli - http://youtube.com/urbania70 - of Little Wing, the classic of Jimi Hendrix, the electric guitar legend.

Dedicated to John Montagna and Godfrey Townsend, members of The Alan Parsons Live Project in 2000-10, and posted in response to this Little Wing cover by them:

I had pleasure to meet them various times and am honoured that John wrote me he likes this cover. He's also a huge expert about The Beatles.

I dedicate this cover also to FBT, which uploaded the Townsend/Montagna video. FBT is an important brand of amp equipment, and I'm their customer since long time. I was so very happy when I saw they posted a hi-tech video with the participation of their long-time friend Alan Parsons:

As a very personal note..
FBT is from Recanati, a small town in center Italy known for the Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi, but with the most important industrial zone of hi-tech Italian musical industry. My memories of Recanati go back to my childhood, when I took part in some competitions in electronic organ, while the local brand Farfisa was introducing the first electronic imitation of a church organ: while the most people played simple songs, I went there playing at memory Bach pieces of 15 minutes., and got the trophys in Recanati in 1980 and 81. Visiting the places of Leopardi was an additional reward.

so beautiful, two of my favourite loves combined. It truly was amazing, thank-you

[urbania70]

@lisamconveyness Thanx! Two of your favorites? Little Wing and ?

@lisamconveyness The adapting to piano of this guitar classic received mixed comments. Really this meditative version is partially inspired by Sting's version (so in your prev msg I thought you may possibly refer to Jimi and Sting). Thanx to you

I seriously can't stop listening to this! What a beautiful arrangement :D

[urbania70]

Thanx. The feeling is very inspired by Sting's version on the album "Nothing like the sun".

Oh god, it translates so well... If Jimi were with us he would LOVE this, I bet. Excellent work, absolutely incredible.
