The tour will be followed by the November 23rd release of �All The Best,� from Verve Forecast. The album, an overview of Zucchero�s phenomenal recording career, includes four newly recorded songs with repertoire, as on the tour dates, sung in both English and Italian.
The tour kicks off in Boston, going on play a mix of Canadian and U.S. dates including Detroit, Toronto and Philadelphia culminating with a run of California dates in mid-October. An intermezzo in the tour schedule will find Zucchero back in New York where he will perform as part of the city�s fabled Columbus Day Parade on October 8th.
Before departing Italy for the tour, Zucchero commented, �I�m really looking forward to performing in the U.S. after so long. Because so much of my musical inspiration comes from America, this is a very special and exciting situation for me.� Zucchero�s touring band is an amalgam of Italian and American musicians including Adriano Molinari (drums), Mario Schiliro (guitar), E Street Band veteran David Sancious (keyboards), guitarist Kat Dyson who had been in Cyndi Lauper�s band and Paul Howard Jones (bass) whose place in Zucchero�s band had earlier been occupied by Randy Jackson, now serving on American Idol�s panel of judges.
