Album Notes

"An enjoyable album and one that is an essential purchase for any self respecting guitar fans (Get Ready To Rock – UK)"

"With this album Tansini gives us his personal interpretation of the different genres of blues, a journey of invaluable quality (Keys and chords – NL)"


"Blues garage" is the second solo album by Marco Tansini, following the first release "American places".
This new album is a journey into the Blues and all of its shades and contaminations, represented here by different colours, from funk to rock and even swing.
Marco is known around the world not only as a producer and songwriter but even as a great guitar player and in this new release he shows the more authentic and genuine side of himself. 11 tracks that give life to a guitar album which is refined and polished while, at the same time, minimal and direct, based upon a production that tends to put emphasis to the "live" spirit of this release.
Far from being an experiment of music archeology, "Blues garage" is the personal interpretation of different kind of blues, where the only trademark is the performance's and songwriting's high quality level!

BIOGRAPHY:
Marco Tansini was born in Codogno, a small town in the North of Italy. He started playing the guitar at the age of 12 and two years later he signed his first contract with Ricordi. This is the beginning of an important career.
Marco has collaborated with artists from all over the world becoming one of the most renowned producers and songwriters in Italy.
In the 80s and 90s he has realized more then 70 albums, he took part in the producer role to festivals like Festivalbar, San Remo and Saint Vincent. Some of his tracks have been in the top charts. He founded together with the band Pooh the recording studio at Catsello di Carimate where a lot of top selling albums have been released (Laura Pausini, Eros Ramazzotti, Paul Young and many others).
As a guitar player Marco has his roots in blues music but his musical phrasing is enriched by his experience in jazz and rock music. His best musical qualities are the refined touch and the constant attention to melody. He alternates sweet and emotional solutions with pure "rock and roll" blazes.
His first solo album, "American places" has been released by Azzurra Music / Tanzan Music in 2002.
