Celebrated Guitarist Davide Pannozzo Releases New Instrumental “Be Blessed”
With all that’s going on in the world, we could all use an invitation into a world apart. And this one is a beauty. “Be Blessed” is set to release Friday July 8 by Davide Pannozzo and produced by Steve Jordan (Rolling Stones’ drummer, Grammy-winning producer.) We’re giving you a preview of this soulful celebration of guitar featuring Pannozzo on guitar, Steve Jordan on drums, Will Lee on bass, Clifford Carter on keyboards, and Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Alicia Keys) on strings.
“Be Blessed” is a chill instrumental that overflows with understated emotion and casts its shadow somewhere between the upscale blues of Robben Ford and the deep melodicism of Duke Ellington.
Pannozzo is a masterful player, able to speak softly and still be heard. His sense of phrasing is vocal-like at times and jazz-inflected at others, taking listeners on a slow ride through a soulful moment. “Be Blessed” is an A-List performance from a guitarist who doesn’t need to scream to hold your attention. Tune in and vibe on.
Celebrating the highest and purest love between father and son, “Be Blessed” is a prayer, an intimate conversation with no words. Through the power of music, the song is a message that transcends language and can be understood anyone. The song is a message, an invitation to live without fear, embracing changes in our lives with courage and boldness.
World events got you down? “Be Blessed” is your mood boost, luring you into emotional guitar and melody. An inspiration.
