In 2013 Raimondi releases her new cd, a tribute to Mr. Ornette Coleman's music Singin' Ornette!!!, recorded with Mauro Negri (altosax and clarinet), Furio Di Castri (bass) and Enzo Zirilli (drums). The "Singin 'Ornette" project was born from a first love, which, several years ago, opened Barbara Raimondi's musical conception towards a so-called "parallel" universe, that of Mr. Coleman's music and more generally, towards the sincerity of his language. Obviously, being a vocal project, emphasis was placed on the most melodic trait of Coleman's expressiveness, highlighting a vein of singing that rarely appears so characteristic in his music. A real celebration of his world, therefore, and a sincere tribute from the whole group ..."
