Duende - The Romantic Project is the latest release (and Jazzhead debut) by stunning pianist and composer Joe Chindamo. Duende represents a musical journey through the human condition: love (in all it's incarnations), joy, sorrow, elation, despair, longing, melancholy, excitement, and even death, find their expression in these songs. Joe, who looks to his Italian heritage for inspiration, composed most of the pieces with others taken from the world of Italian opera, a Spanish love song and a Jobim classic. Duende is a marvelous selection of moods, melodies and musical magic: a highly emotional and deeply moving album.
