Edoardo Baroni, the talented Italian jazz guitarist, is ready to captivate international audiences with his third album, “By Heart”. Following the success of “Dawn” and “Songs”, the musician from Brescia returns with a work that blends virtuosity and sensitivity, paying tribute to jazz legends while innovating the contemporary music scene.
Released by Clockbeats and produced by Dario Mollo, the album features ten tracks mixing original compositions with timeless tributes. Highlights include “Let off steam,” an energetic homage to manouche music, and “Echoes of Spain,” inspired by the legendary Django Reinhardt, the subject of Baroni’s graduation thesis. A personal touch shines in “Silvia,” a heartfelt declaration of love conveyed through his guitar.
By Heart concludes with a remarkable homage to Johann Sebastian Bach, featuring two versions of the prelude “BWV 999” and a reimagining of the “Partita BWV 1004.” This blend of jazz and classical music underscores Baroni’s ability to merge genres and eras, delivering a unique auditory experience.
An international tour to celebrate Italian talent
The success of “By Heart” is accompanied by a tour in Japan, featuring six dates culminating on July 24, 2025, at the Osaka Expo. The Land of the Rising Sun, renowned for its love of jazz, will enthusiastically welcome Edoardo Baroni, solidifying his status as one of the most acclaimed Italian jazz artists on the global stage.
The essence of music
As Baroni himself states:
“With ‘By Heart,’ I wanted to encapsulate everything that represents me. Every note is an act of love, a dialogue between technique and emotion.”
From teaching in prestigious Italian conservatories to topping the Amazon Music charts, Edoardo Baroni continues to inspire and captivate, advancing jazz tradition with a unique and innovative style.
