I
like to call Alfie Zappacosta "Mr. Romance",
probably because his voice and music seem so
incurably, hopelessly romantic. Innocence Ballet
is no exception. Dating back to 1995, this CD
makes my heart go pitter-patter with every new
listen. "Orlanda" is smooth and clever,
"Show Me" couldn't be any more playful
and "La Sorana" showcases Alfie's
virtuosity on the guitar. But my personal favorite
has got to be "Me and Mrs. Jones",
featuring the incomparable Carlos Del Junco
on harmonica. Who'd have thought the little
old harp could be such a passionate instrument?
Light a few candles, pour the wine and leave
