"With "Gli Anni Sessanta", he sounds very nice, but by the time you get to "Pomodori", his mature voice is so smooth, romantic, and relaxing, that he gives me goosebumps. I've never heard one of his CD(s) that I didn't like, but "Pomodori" is in my opinion, the best of the best. I would describe his music as beautiful smooth jazz, and 3 of the songs in particular have such a great beat, that I like to wake up to them in the morning, for they get me in a dancing mood: "Pomodori", "Lacrime di Coccodrillo", & "Chissa' Perche'". Gino's pure Italian is so clear that it's totally understandable for one whose mother-tongue is not Italian, but has only studied the language. The last song, "La Donna dei Peccati" is so romantic, in which he dreams that he is in Paradise, looks around to find that his Love is not there, so he commits a few sins so he can get "sent back down" to be with her.."
