Patrick Messina and Fabrizio Chiovetta set sail for America, the promised land whose musical portrait they sketch through the ages, from its deep roots to its recent blossoming. Traditional melodies cross paths with jazz, take to Broadway and embrace the avant-garde... From Charles Ives to André Previn, via Gershwin and Bernstein, Patrick Messina and Fabrizio Chiovetta deliver the essence of American music.
