Viva Caruso is one of Joe Lovano's "most ambitious and enjoyable recordings".[4] Inspired by the legendary Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso, Lovano deftly, yet directly, applies orchestral melodies and figures in different manners to create a beautifully meditative collection of music. The album contains a variety of songs, each of which focuses on a distinctive jazz interpretation of classical music.
