2005 Chiara Civello – Last Quarter Moon
Last Quarter Moon is the debut album by Italian singer, songwriter and musician Chiara Civello. On a scholarship, she moved to Boston in 1994 to attend the Berklee College of Music. After graduating, she moved to New York City and met Russ Titelman, who agreed to produce her first album. The album was influenced by Brazilian music, with vocals by Daniel Jobim, the grandson of Antonio Carlos Jobim, and cover versions of “Outono” by Rosa Passos and “Caramel” by Suzanne Vega. Civello wrote one song, “Trouble”, with Burt Bacharach.
