One of the big stories of the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was La Flor Dominicana celebrating 30 years in the cigar business for Litto and Ines Gomez. Given La Flor Dominicana had released milestone cigars for the 20th and 25th anniversary, it was no surprise that there was a 30th-anniversary cigar, LFD 30 Years. This year, we caught up with Litto and Tony Gomez to discuss this important milestone. PCA 2024 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-sBB

Please welcome to our show the mega-talented writer, producer, and director Andria Litto, who joins us to discuss her magnificent documentary, “My Father Moves Mountains,” about her dad, George Litto, who represented many of Hollywood's top writers who were black-listed during the McCarthy era and beyond. This is a fascinating film, with detailed interviews from actors, writers, and agents, with film footage of a time in Hollywood when studios could crush the careers of actors and writers, but George Litto wasn't afraid of them. Instead, he fought for the rights of people he thought were unfairly blacklisted, and ended up behind some of Hollywood's most accomplished films from “Mash” and “Midnight Cowboy.” He later went on to produce films directed by Brian DePalma. And Andria, his daughter, had a front row seat to it all and joins us to talk about it. Please join our show on #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast on all video and audio platforms. And invite your friends and family, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's a pleasure to have you join us.

En muchos de los instrumentos del jazz hay héroes, figuras que dejaron un legado y cuyo nombre no se circunscribe sólo a los avezados en el género.

Gran improvisador y dueño de un estilo innovador y minimalista, Ahmad Jamal se erigió gracias a su prolífica carrera como uno de los grandes exponentes del jazz. Al punto de que fue una de las influencias de Miles Davis, figura fundamental del género. En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió su disco "Baladas", uno de los últimos que grabó antes de su fallecimiento, en abril de este año.

En su programa Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió "The Wedding Album", un disco que Leon Russell lanzó en 1976 junto a su esposa Mary Russell.

Litto eligió en la última emisión de Planeta Nebbia compartir el primer long play de Los Gatos, lanzado hace más de medio siglo y uno de los mejores discos de la historia del rock nacional.

Abocado a los encuentros de grandes músicos cuya obra fue recopilada en álbumes que editó a través de su sello, Melopea, Litto presentó en esta emisión el Encuentro de grandes bandoneonistas argentinos que logró en el disco homónimo publicado en el año 2003.

Grandes pianistas argentinos recopilados en un álbum editado por Melopea fueron los protagonistas de esta nueva emisión de Planeta Nebbia. En esta oportunidad, Litto compartió música de Enrique "Mono" Villegas, Horacio Salgán, Cuchi Leguizamón y otros grandes artistas.

Siguiendo con esta selección de artistas que a través de su sello, Melopea, reunió en diferentes discos, Litto presentó en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia una antología de canciones interpretadas por grandes mujeres de la música argentina.

The 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was quite special for La Flor Dominicana. There was a lot of excitement over the return of owner Litto Gomez's eponymous line, the Litto Gomez (LG) Diez. It's the first time we've seen the LG in nearly eight years. This year we talked to owner Litto Gomez and his son Tony, in what we have been told is the only interview that Litto recorded at this year's PCA. While we did talk some about the LG and last year's groundbreaking NFT project, the discussion evolved into one about stories and family. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-q95

Cientos de notables guitarristas han nacido en los Estados Unidos. Muchos no alcanzaron la fama, pero ello no les impidió desarrollar una importante carrera. Uno de ellos fue Grant Green, quien, además de un excelente manejo del instrumento, era una gran improvisador. Falleció en 1979, a los 43 años. Pero su temprana muerte no condice con su prolífica trayectoria: grabó más de 40 álbumes como solista. En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió "Sunday Mornin'", grabado en 1961.

Hermeto Pascoal es considerado una de las figuras más importantes de la historia de la música popular brasileña. Compositor y multiinstrumentista, ha sido reconocido como uno de los músicos más originales del planeta. También ha trabajado con importantes figuras de la música, por ejemplo, con Miles Davis. A sus 87 años, acaba de lanzar "Planetário da Gávea", un disco que surgió de una de sus últimas presentaciones en vivo, y Litto lo compartió en esta nueva emisión de Planeta Nebbia.

Pese a ser dueño de un estilo que lo ha convertido en un guitarrista muy prestigioso, haber lanzado algunos discos y tener decenas de participaciones en orquestas, Nguyên Lê no es un músico muy conocido a nivel mundial. Por eso, en esta nueva emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió su último material, "Silk and Sand".

No alcanzarían años para presentar toda la música de Frank Zappa, pese a su temprana muerte. Supo mezclar elementos del jazz con el punk y el folk, entre otros géneros. Pero siempre se discutió sobre si era comercial o no. Por eso, uno de sus trabajos se llamó "Estrictamente Comercial", lanzado al mercado en 1995, dos años después de su muerte. Y en esta primera parte del especial dedicado al compositor y guitarrista estadounidense, Litto compartió aquel álbum.

Una reciente serie de álbumes ha recopilado material inédito y en vivo de Miles Davis, una de las figuras más innovadoras e influyentes de la historia del jazz. El tercero de esa selección, recogió el concierto que brindó en el Theatre St. Denis de Montreal, en Canadá, el 7 de julio de 1983. Y en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió parte de ese disco.

En una nueva emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió "Pieces of treasure", el último disco de Rickie Lee Jones, cantante, compositora y pianista estadounidense.

En esta nueva emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte un material inédito. No pertenece a ningún disco, sino que está extraído desde la consola de sonido. Se trata de un concierto que brindó en 1998, en Alemania, un grupo de artistas caribeños. En esa oportunidad, invitaron a un compositor y cantante inglés: Steve Windwood.

William Edward Childs es un compositor, pianista y arreglador de jazz estadounidense. Como la mayoría de los artistas del género, comenzó tocando en diferentes agrupaciones y pudo grabar su primera disco recién a fines de la década del '80. A partir de entonces, lanzó una docena de extraordinarios álbumes. Y en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió su último trabajo, "Vientos de Cambio".

James Taylor es un cantante y compositor estadounidense dueño de una prolífica carrera dentro del género folk. Sacó su primer disco en 1968, a través del sello de The Beatles. Sin embargo, alcanzó el reconocimiento internacional gracias a su segundo trabajo, "Sweet Baby James", lanzado dos años después. En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto compartió su historia y repasó algunas de sus mejores canciones.  

Ray Charles fue "un héroe del soul". El genio, brillante cantante, compositor y pianista, marcó con su estilo a muchísimos artistas. Por eso, en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte uno de sus álbumes más famosos, Hallelujah I Love Her So.

Robert Kirby fue un arreglador que trabajó con grandes compositores del folk inglés. Y a pesar de su prematura muerte -falleció a los 60 años-, dejó grandes producciones. En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte "Orquestaciones de Robert Kirby".

A fines de la década del '60, al cantante y compositor Gordon Jackson le propusieron grabar un disco. Al mismo tiempo, un grupo -luego prolífico- daba sus primeros pasos. Así fue como integrantes de Traffic terminaron grabando con el músico nacido en Birmingham "Thinking Back", denominado tiempo después "El disco perdido de Traffic". Y en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte el materia de un álbum muy difícil de conseguir.

En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte grabaciones inéditas del dúo Ciriaco Ortíz & Ubaldo de Lío, recopiladas en un álbum editado por Melopea a fines del siglo pasado.

La historia del material es interesante. A partir de grabaciones de ensayos, segundas tomas, prácticas y demos que fue recogiendo, un fanático de Stevie Wonder conformó un álbum que no se consigue en tiendas, pero que reúne un material inédito e invaluable. Y en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte el disco, que consiguió en uno de sus tantos viajes.

Enrique Villegas fue un baluarte del jazz argentino, con "una capacidad de invención y personalidad tremendas", famoso por sus anécdotas y charlas. Nació en la misma manzana que Adolfo Ábalos y Aníbal Troilo, en el barrio porteño del Abasto, el 3 de agosto de 1913. Y falleció en julio de 1986. En esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, Litto presenta otro de los discos del "Mono" que editó su sello, Melopea. En esta oportunidad, "Villegas + Folklore", donde el pianista interpreta a los Hermanos Ábalos.  

Adalberto Cevasco tocó con "medio planeta". Formó parte de la agrupación de Astor Piazzolla y de la orquesta de Lalo Schifrin, por mencionar sólo algunos ejemplos.  En 2020, lanzó en Melopea su álbum "Pájaros eléctricos" -que luego fue editado en Europa en versión vinilo- y el año pasado, "Volumen 2: Sesiones inéditas con amigos", que reúne música de distintas procedencias. Y en esta oportunidad, Litto comparte ese material.

Mirtha Defilpo fue una excelente poeta que a lo largo de su trayectoria grabó un solo disco. Se llamó "Canciones para perdedores" y fue musicalizado precisamente Litto, que, en esta emisión de Planeta Nebbia, comparte ese material.

Rodolfo Alchourron fue un gran músico y compositor. Sin embargo, nunca logró la repercusión popular acorde a su talento, explica Litto. Por eso, en esta edición de Planeta Nebbia, uno de los fundadores del rock argentino comparte su obra "La historia de un hombre".

En el primer programa de la cuarta temporada de Planeta Nebbia, Litto comparte grabaciones inéditas de la banda Traffic, recopiladas en un álbum confeccionado por un fanático del glorioso grupo inglés que sentó base del mejor rock británico que se pueda escuchar desde la década del '60.

In 2022, La Flor Dominicana made a return to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show after skipping the 2021 show. There was a lot of excitement around La Flor Dominicana's return and you can see it in the faces of owner Litto Gomez, his family, his staff, and his customers. This year was a lot about the next generation as Litto's sons, Antonio "Tony" Gomez and Litto Gomez Jr. would bring the La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull Golden Bull and La Flor Dominicana Solis projects respectively. We had a chance to have some significant time with Litto Gomez, and we could clearly see his pride in the work his sons brought to the table as well as his excitement of being back at the Trade Show.
