O’s Notes: Cettina Donato is an Italian pianist, composer, arranger and educator, a Berklee College graduate proficient in both classical and jazz. She combines the genres in a way that appeals to both audiences. I Siciliani is her latest release with vocalist, actor Ninni Bruschetta. All of the music is fresh, originals by Donato behind the works of the late Italian poet Antonio Caldarella. Donato and Bruschetta embrace the poems as their own, a taste of jazz and romance. It is a bit intoxicating!
