Artist

JENNY SORRENTI

Sister of well known artist Alan Sorrenti, Jenny (or Jane, as she was called in her early releases) was born in Naples from welsh mother, and formed there the acid folk trio Saint Just. With this band she released two albums before embarking in a solo career that only produced two more albums in the 70's.

Jenny's style as a solo artist is far from her previous band's, being much closer to the song format. Both albums being mainly built on Jenny's delicate voice, Suspiro is the best of the two, with help from experienced musicians like Peter Kaukonen (brother of Jorma, Jefferson Airplane's guitarist), drummer Francesco Froggio Francica (from Raccomandata con Ricevuta di Ritorno and Procession), guitarist Pino Daniele (later a well known solo artist), violinist Lucio Fabbri (PFM) and long cohort Toni Verde from the Saint Just days.

After many subsequent collaborations with other artists, Jenny Sorrenti has returned with a new CD, Medieval zone, in 2001, trying to mix the mediterranean folk tradition with her celtic roots, and again in 2004 with Com'è grande enfermidade.

Not particularly rare until some years ago, Suspiro has recently reached high values due to the interest by many foreign collectors in the Jenny Sorrenti production, both as a solo artist or with Saint Just.
First album on Harvest came with a delicate silver coloured single sleeve and lyric inner, the second one on RCA had a laminated gatefold cover.

The 2004 album, Com'è grande enfermidade, issued by the small Naples label Polosud, has been reissued on vinyl in a limited pressing in 2006, and the first 250 copies are signed from Jenny and drummer/percussionist Marcello Vento (ex-Alberomotore e Canzoniere del Lazio).

No foreign issues or counterfeits exist.
