Editor's note

Raphael Gualazzi, Italy's jazz-soul piano man

An Italian musician who won Sanremo in 2011 with "Follia d'amore," blending jazz, soul, and piano traditions.

For a quick sense of his style, try "Lady o" or the Sanremo winner "Follia d'amore." They frame his piano-driven approach pretty clearly.

He won the Sanremo Music Festival in 2011 with "Follia d'amore," which put his jazz-soul piano style on the map in Italy. Songs like "Empty Home" and "Lady o" show his knack for blending Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder influences into something that feels both classic and personal. Working with Quincy Jones and Dee Dee Bridgewater adds some weight to that sound.

He released his debut album "Reality and Fantasy" after winning Sanremo in 2011. Since then, he's kept recording tracks like "Carioca" and "Crazy Rag Blues," sticking close to that jazz and soul foundation.
