JENNY SORRENTI

SUSPIRO

Label : HARVEST 3C 064 - 18174

Year : 1976 - Original Italian pressing LP

Sister of well known artist Alan Sorrenti, Jenny (or Jane, as she was called in her early releases) was born in Naples from welsh mother, and formed there the acid folk trio Saint Just. With this band she released two albums before embarking in a solo career that only produced two more albums in the 70's.

Saint Just began as a trio mainly using acoustic instruments and mixing together folk, psychedelia and classical influences. The very good results are demonstrated in their first album, released in 1973 on Harvest. The soft prog atmospheres are dreamy and enchanting, like in the opening Quando nel mondo distrutto incominciò la vita, and Alan Sorrenti also sang on a track, but the group failed to render the delicate sound on stage.

The second album is more in a rock direction, with sax player Robert Fix being replaced by two electric guitarists and a stable drummer. The result is less acoustic and more rhythm based, always on a very good level.

The band split after La casa del lago, with Jane starting a solo career under the name of Jenny Sorrenti.
Jenny's style as a solo artist is far from her previous band's, being much closer to the song format. Both albums being mainly built on Jenny's delicate voice, Suspiro is the best of the two, with help from experienced musicians like Peter Kaukonen (brother of Jorma, Jefferson Airplane's guitarist), drummer Francesco Froggio Francica (from Raccomandata con Ricevuta di Ritorno and Procession), guitarist Pino Daniele (later a well known solo artist), violinist Lucio Fabbri (PFM) and long cohort Toni Verde from the Saint Just days.
