Gianni Centanni

“Italian old school singer-songwriting and accordion melodies meets americana arrangements and sounds”


Gianni Centanni is the fictional character in these songs. Created by singer- songwriter Gianfranco Scala, Gianni sings the Po Valley flat lands, reflected in the checkered sea of rice fields, the tall flames of the refinery (the “cathedral”), and a dream of America often trapped between humidity and mosquitoes.

Performers include:
Kenny Aronoff – drums
Roscoe Beck – bass
Glenn Fukunaga – bass
David Grissom – guitars
