Rita Marcotulli's 1998 album, "The Woman Next Door," is a captivating journey through the world of contemporary classical and jazz fusion. Released on January 1, 1998, under the prestigious Label Bleu, this album spans a concise yet impactful 66 minutes, offering a rich tapestry of musical exploration.
Marcotulli, known for her innovative approach to composition and performance, weaves together a diverse range of influences in this collection.

Titles like "Les 400 coups" and "Antoine Doinel" hint at a French cinematic influence, while tracks such as "The Japanese Mistress" and "Masse di Memoria" suggest a broader, more global perspective.

Whether you're a fan of contemporary classical music, jazz, or simply appreciate well-crafted compositions, this album offers a rewarding and enriching experience.
