Riccardo Zappa's twenty-fourth album, "Gabri Flies to Italy," is a heartfelt homage to his brother Gabriele, crafted with precision and dedication. With a runtime of 45 minutes across seven tracks, this album is an intricate exhibition of Zappa’s renowned guitar skills, which are as potent and purposeful as ever. The album kicks off with a 19-minute epic suite, showcasing a rich mixture of sounds from the seamless melding of 6 and 12-string guitars. Notably, the track "Harmonios" features an innovative quartet of plectrums, and both the title track and "Nimaster Ego" are enhanced by the inclusion of choirs, creating a reverberant and dynamic sound.

Zappa's ability to blend mystic elements with techno sequences is particularly striking, offering listeners a journey through varied musical landscapes. Romantic phrasing is interspersed with complex, layered audio tracks, which are sometimes stripped down to single, stark guitar drafts. This album is not just a display of technical proficiency; it serves as a conduit for clear, expressive musical themes, evolving in complexity and emotional depth. The unique participatory track "Suonami una Nota" ("Play me a Note") uses notes contributed by guitarists from around the world, encapsulating the communal and timeless nature of music.
