German trumpet master Till Brönner teams up with Italy’s baritone crooner Mario Biondi for a lush and elegant reimagining of Paolo Conte’s iconic “Via Con Me”, out now digitally via earMusic / Edel.
The new single is the second release from Brönner’s upcoming album Italia—a passion project co-produced with Nicola Conte that pays tribute to Italian music and culture. With “Via Con Me”, Brönner and Biondi infuse the timeless melody with soul-jazz elegance, sensual grooves, and cinematic flair, creating a fresh interpretation that bridges Italian chanson, jazz, and soul.
A classic reborn: smooth trumpet lines meet Biondi’s unmistakable voice for a version of “Via Con Me” that is as suave as it is soulful.
An International Collaboration with Italian Soul
Originally penned by Paolo Conte in the early 1980s, “Via Con Me” is known the world over for its whimsical phrasing, jazzy rhythm, and effortless cool. Brönner—a prolific artist known for his refined trumpet tone and cross-genre fluidity—honors the spirit of the original while elevating it through a modern jazz lens.
Biondi’s rich, velvet vocals glide through the arrangement with charismatic charm, making this collaboration one of the most anticipated jazz duets of the summer. The result is a stylish homage that’s perfect for late summer evenings, cocktail playlists, and lovers of European jazz-soul fusion.
What’s Next
The single is a preview of Brönner’s Italia album—slated for release later this year—which will continue his exploration of Italy’s musical landscape. With Nicola Conte’s signature touch on production, fans can expect a rich tapestry of nu jazz, bossa nova, cinematic funk, and retro-soul influences throughout the project.
Whether you're revisiting Paolo Conte’s original or discovering “Via Con Me” for the first time, this version is a must-add for your end-of-summer soundtrack.
