Review by ACT Music: In music one plus one can sometimes equal three – for instance, the sum of a project is often more than the value of its individual participants. A perfect example: the collaboration of the Italian singer Carla Marcotulli with the American composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Dick Halligan for their first ACT album How Can I Get To Mars? (ACT 9720-2)

Carla Marcotulli comes from a musical family. Her father was a sound engineer with his own studio in which, among other things, a lot of film music was recorded, including a good number of scores from Ennio Morricone. While sister Rita took piano lessons – today she is one of Italy’s most renowned jazz pianists – Carla began playing flute. Coincidently, her music school also had a gospel choir and a jazz big band. Carla recalls that, “It was rare to have either of these in Italy in the late 70’s.” She quickly showed that a lot of music had rubbed off on her during her many visits to her father’s studio, especially her feeling for melodies and her ability to sing naturally. Things started happening quickly. At the age of 19, Carla sang with Chet Baker at the “Four Roses Jazz Festival”, and later in the same year with Carmen McRae. ”I was a wild kid, and only a lot later it became clear to me what that meant.” The Roman jazz club “Music Inn” became her second home; it was there that she ended up singing with half the Italian jazz scene.

However, she felt there was something missing, and that it was time to work on her musical abilities. Carla determined to study classical singing in Venice, and consequently performed in operas from New York to Puerto Rico. But her return to jazz was just a matter of time. “Always being told how to sing music made by others was too monotonous. I wanted to have more freedom, and also be able to try out some of my own things.” Among other things, she joined Klaus Treuheit’s experimental trio “Neue Note”, worked with trumpeter Luca Bonvini on a Walt Whitman project, and presented “Canzoni dell’amore imperfetto” at the Umbria festival, a project created in conjunction with author Domenico Starnone and saxophonist Mario Raja. Two years ago Marcotulli began to work on a synthesis of classical and jazz with violist Antonello Leofreddi along with his Quartetto Dorico, and famed jazz guitarist Sandro Gibellini. But the project’s final alignment came only after Marcotulli had met Dick Halligan and then played with his band on several occasions.
