Anyone Who Had A Heart : the music of Burt Bacharach (Joe Chindamo) 1 - Unnamed


Joe Chindamo is a captivating musician of the highest calibre and with the extent of back catalogue releases astounding as it is, certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Jazzhead are now thrilled to announce the re-issue release of Chindamo’s Anyone Who Had a Heart.  As the title may allude, this recording features Chindamo’s breathtaking arrangements of some of the most popular songs of the 60’s by singer songwriter Burt Bacharach.

Presenting classics such as Walk On By, I Say A Little Prayer and the title track, Anyone Who Had A Heart, originally released in 1997, was an ARIA Award Nominee, ABC Listeners’ Choice and Best Australian CD of the year; this is testament to the calibre and popularity of the music on this release.

While providing a certain familiarity, without being predictable, jazz and popular music fans will delight in vibrant and gripping versions of these memorable tracks.


With Joe Chindamo's ability to inject these lovely songs with the wealth of language unique to contemporary jazz musicians, Bacharach takes on a whole new dimension which is both highly accessible and highly artistic.” Tony Gould on Joe Chindamo
