Following the successful release of his previous album “Tranquillità” on Warner Music and a career that launched him internationally with tours in the US, Europe and Asia, ALFIO is back with a new album, “CLASSIC REWINDS”. This album pays tribute to the artists who shaped and formed his passion for music and features 15 tracks from classic artists of Italian-American background such as Mario Lanza, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Frankie Valli, Bon Jovi, and more. ALFIO recorded an eclectic mix of classics for this album, choosing some songs that haven’t been heard in many years and that make one’s heart melt as they are re-discovered all over again. Songs like “Papa Loves Mambo” which sets the stage for a fun, feel-good collection of songs, “Where Do I Begin” showcases his vocal range from a soft timbre one minute to a full bravado the next, even Bon Jovi’s “Always” is included, as the album brings mainstream sensibility to the millions of contemporary fans around the world. With a mixture of up-tempos and ballads recorded in ALFIO’s style, this album takes you on a nostalgic musical journey and it reminds you why these songs are classics. “This album is a legacy to the contribution that these great artists have made to our lives and a way for me to keep their memory alive as I rewind the classics of yesterday and bring them back to you today,” says ALFIO.
As he pays tribute to his fellow countrymen on “CLASSIC REWINDS”, ALFIO, an accomplished musician and songwriter, has included a few songs he wrote such as “Voce Pura”, a beautiful song written for Luciano Pavarotti after ALFIO met and dined with him in late 2005. Sung in “pure voice,” this song is a loving tribute to the Maestro.
ALFIO is a mesmerizing performer whether sitting at the piano, with the band, orchestra or simply using the microphone and his voice. He often has the crowd singing, dancing and sometimes even moved to tears. One thing is clear when he’s on stage: he LOVES to sing and wants everyone to enjoy listening to the songs as much as he enjoys singing them.

Music expresses, which cannot be said and about what to be silent is impossible. My Treasured Friend.... and your Music, fills the gap in the heart, which misses it ....
Hey Alfio...it's been a while since I stopped by to say hello to you so I figured I'd check in and spread some luv. Hope you are happy and well, my friend.
I hope you've had a fantastic weekend.I've finally written & blogged my review of "Classic Rewinds" on my page,as its way too long to put here in comment.
Feel free to hop over to my page if you get 2 minutes & check it out.It will make you smile.
Look after yourself & enjoy the rest of the week.Once again,thank you for sharing the gift of your voice with each & every one of us.
Since I received my "Classic Rewinds" I have been playing it non-stop.
The more I play it more I love it...I don't like to single out any of the songs but a song that really put me in a dancing mood is " Don't let the stars get in your eyes"
I just love the way you put YOUR personal touch to each and every song.
Once again...thank you for music...thank for sharing your talent with us.
South Africa's just come off the back of a long weekend and what a great weekend it's been. Why you ask? It's because I could listen to your new cd over and over again :-)
The more I listen to it, the more excited I become. I absolutely love it! You have a lot to be proud of and I know for certain that it's going to be a international success as it's appeal is so broad.......from the timeless classics that our parents enjoyed to the new songs that captivates even the youngest of fans.
I am still on such a high since your new cd arrived yesterday and have listened to it countless times since then.
"Where Do I Begin".......the entire cd is absolutely fantastic! I love the fact that the song choices allows you to either sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the romantic music or jump up and dance around the room.....lol. Buona Sera is fast becoming one of my favourite songs!
Today has definitely been my day. I finally received my copy of your new cd and I have one word for it........
BELLISSIMO!!!
Congratulations on another fantastic album that I have no doubt is going to be a huge success all over the world.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
I can't stop listening to it. Your choice of songs is perfect. You have magnificently captured the essence of the timeless classics but at the same time you managed to still keep it uniquely you.
As for the "Classic Forwards"........a stroke of genius!!!
I look forward to spending many happy hours listening to your new album and sharing it with my family and friends.
Finally today,my copy of your cd arrived here with me...I will play it later on this evening(am watching a Euro 08 match at the moment) and without a doubt will let you know what I think of each & every tune...
I smiled when I see the signed card to me inside the package,as it was me mama who ordered it.
Thanks for your message. I have just finished listening to the whole album - all 19 songs!
What can I say? I LOVE the concept of 'classic rewinds' and 'classic forwards' - so clever! My favourite songs are (well for now): 1. Forget him, 2. Always and 3. Our dream!! Can I say how much I enjoy listening to the full English version of Our Dream.. it sounds so different!! I guess I'm just not used to it! (yet!)
But I have enjoyed all the songs very much - I really do hope the album will bring you the success you deserve, and a lot more happy fans.
Here’s wishing you a weekend welling over with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.
I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of checking out one of my short stories at my new officially official website (jeremycshipp.com) which is a strange land overpopulated by robotic parsnips and rabid yard gnomes. I'd love to hear what you think.
Happytimes, -Jeremy :)
Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.' Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.
