Luciana Souza meets Marco Pignataro & the BGJI Ambassadors feat. Kenny Werner

Berklee Global Jazz Institute Managing Director Marco Pignataro records his original “Farfallina ” with the Berklee Global Jazz Institute Ambassadors, alumna Luciana Souza and Berklee Effortless Mastery Institute Artistic Director Kenny Werner as featured artists. “Farfallina”, which in Italian means “little butterfly”, was recorded in late February at Shames Studio at Berklee College of Music. Inspired by the short life cycle of butterflies, “Farfallina” strives to illustrate the poetic imagery of fleeting beauty. Lyrics, arrangements and music produced by Marco Pignataro
