Carlo Loffredo E La Sua New Orleans Band have released their latest album, Ciao Rudy Il Mio Nome, and it's a delightful tribute to the late Italian musician, Rudy Rotta. The album features a collection of classic blues and jazz tracks, all performed with Loffredo's signature New Orleans style.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Ciao Rudy," a track that pays homage to Rotta's legacy while showcasing Loffredo's impressive guitar skills. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through the history of blues and jazz, with tracks like "Sweet Home Chicago" and "Basin Street Blues" transporting listeners to the heart of New Orleans.

Throughout the album, Loffredo's band provides a solid foundation for his guitar work, with each member contributing their own unique sound to create a cohesive and enjoyable listening experience. The horn section, in particular, shines on tracks like "St. James Infirmary" and "When the Saints Go Marching In," adding a touch of soulful sophistication to the album.
