Talk:Joe Barbieri

Proposed update for international discography and collaborations

Hello, I am Joe Barbieri, the subject of this article. I am writing to respectfully request an update to this page. The current article is a brief stub, and I would like to propose a more comprehensive, neutral, and fact-based version that reflects my international discography, tours, and collaborations (e.g., with Omara Portuondo, Jorge Drexler, Stacey Kent, etc.). Being aware of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest (COI) guidelines, I am not editing the article directly. Instead, I am providing the proposed wikitext below for an independent editor to review. I have done my best to ensure the tone is strictly encyclopedic and neutral. Thank you for your time and assistance. === Proposed Wikitext ===

Joe Barbieri (born Giuseppe Barbieri; December 14, 1973) is an Italian singer, songwriter, composer, and music producer.[1] His work bridges vocal jazz, bossa nova, and world music with the melodic tradition of Italian songwriting.[2] == Career == === Early career and international breakthrough === Barbieri began his professional journey in his native Naples, where he was discovered by Italian musician Pino Daniele.[2] In 2003, he established his own independent label, Microcosmo Dischi. In 2004, he released the album In parole povere, which featured jazz and bossa nova influences. The album gained international traction, securing distribution across the United States, Canada, and Asia by 2008. His 2009 release Maison Maravilha featured a collaboration with Cuban singer Omara Portuondo (from Buena Vista Social Club), earning him recognition from Radio France. === Jazz influences and global collaborations (2010–2019) === His 2012 album Respiro included a guest appearance by Academy Award-winning Uruguayan musician Jorge Drexler, and was supported by tours in Paris, Madrid, and Tokyo.[3] That same year, Yamaha released a "Best Of" compilation exclusively for the Japanese market. In 2013, Barbieri released Chet Lives!, a tribute to trumpeter Chet Baker. The album featured American jazz vocalist Stacey Kent, with whom Barbieri subsequently performed at the Olympia in Paris, alongside Brazilian artist Márcio Faraco. He later honored the legacy of Billie Holiday with the 2019 acoustic tribute album Dear Billie. His 2015 studio effort Cosmonauta da appartamento featured contributions from Spanish singer Luz Casal and Brazilian mandolinist Hamilton de Holanda. Beyond his solo work, Barbieri is a producer and arranger. In this capacity, he has helmed projects featuring international world music artists, including Brazilian musicians Ivan Lins, Maria Bethânia, and Arnaldo Antunes, as well as Spanish singer Silvia Pérez Cruz. === Recent projects (2020–present) === His 2021 album Tratto da una storia vera featured a collaboration with Brazilian cellist and arranger Jaques Morelenbaum. In 2024, he released Vulío, a jazz-infused homage to traditional Neapolitan song. Following the release of his 2025 studio album Big Bang, an album of original songs, Barbieri is slated to release his first symphonic instrumental album, in November 2026. == Selected discography == === Studio albums === * In parole povere (2004) * Maison Maravilha (2009) * Respiro (2012) * Chet Lives!
