Corrado Rustici & Peppino D’Agostino – For The Beauty Of This Wicked World (2019)

For the beauty of this wicked world is a musical meeting place between Peppino D’Agostino and Corrado Rustici; two guitarists/composers who share common cultural and musical roots.
Peppino D’Agostino has been listed in 2017 by Guitar Player as one of the 50 transcendent superheroes of the acoustic guitar.
Corrado Rustici’s remarkable career has included playing with some of the greatest and most popular artists of the 20th century, from Whitney Houston, Luciano Pavarotti, and Herbie Hancock, to Miles Davis, Elton John and Aretha Franklin.

For The Beauty Of This Wicked World was born out of the desire to create musical landscapes which were not necessarily guitar-centric.
The mainly instrumental album features seven songs, two of which – “The Knife Of Love” and the title track “For The Beauty Of This Wicked World” – also feature Corrado on vocals.
They range from progressive rock, to ambient, to ballads and jazz and electronica.
The songs “Oumuamua” and “XXVI-118/120” are enriched by the musical contribution of guest musicians George Brooks on sax (Terry Riley, Zakir Hussein) and Jeff Campitelli on drums (Joe Satriani).
