Nicola Arigliano was an Italian jazz singer who carved out a notable niche for himself in the world of Italian music with his smooth, crooner-style vocals and his affinity for swing music. Born on December 6, 1923, in Squinzano, Apulia, Italy, Arigliano brought the flair of American jazz to Italian audiences, skillfully integrating it with the melodic structure of Italian popular music. He found his start in the post-war music scene and enjoyed a successful career that spanned several decades.

A highlight of Arigliano's work includes his hit single "Carina," which remains an endearing classic in Italy's music heritage. Over the years, Arigliano released numerous albums showcasing his vocal prowess and his ability to adapt to various styles within the jazz genre. His work has been celebrated and kept alive through remastered collections such as "Indimenticabile Arigliano," which ensures that his unique interpretations and contributions to the Italian music scene endure. "I Sing "Ammore"" and other releases like "Nicola Arigliano - Italian Masterpiece" encapsulate his lasting legacy. Even after his passing on March 30, 2010, Nicola Arigliano continues to be remembered as a pioneer who brought the spirit of jazz to the Italian public and inspired future generations of musicians through his distinctive blend of melody and swing.
