PAOLO BALLARDINI "Acoustic Journey"
“A solo journey into the world of acoustic and classical guitar. The repertoire spans from the Swing Era to Brazilian bossa nova, including pop songs and timeless evergreens.
Featuring Beppe Gambetta as a special guest on one track, paying tribute to Genoa and to Fabrizio De André.”

BAIRES "Sonidos de Buenos Aires"
"The meeting of different backgrounds — ranging from classical music to jazz and rock — combined with an Italian DNA rooted in bel canto, and a deep research and arrangement work on traditional tango, led us to define our own idea of popular tango: modern, playful and rich in improvisation".

TULIP TREE "Tulip Tree"
"An instrumental rock-fusion recording project with influences from jazz, funk, and world music. Five musicians sharing a common passion for groove and improvvisation. The album tracklist includes my three original compositions and my own arrangement of Frank Zappa’s “Blessed Relief”.

PAOLO BALLARDINI "Roots"
"My first solo album, “Roots” features an impressive lineup of guest musicians, including guitarists Carl Verheyen, Gianluca D’Alessio, and Paolo Bonfanti; Hammond organist Sergio “Sirjo” Cocchi, and acclaimed drummer Brannen Temple, best known for his work with Robben Ford and Eric Johnson".

PAOLO BALLARDINI "miscellaneous"
"A digital collection of original compositions written for various television shows. For these soundtracks, I played, recorded, and mixed all the instruments. The collection explores different genres and atmospheres, ranging from sweet melodies, evocative soundscapes to tight, groovy tracks".

BALLARDINI-CALVINI "Mediterraneo Hotel"
"An album that brings together pieces from different eras and genres into a single repertoire. Alongside original compositions, it features personal reinterpretations from The Beatles to Tchaikovsky, with tributes to Giora Feidman and Django Reinhardt, resulting in a coherent and original work".
