From Inara: "This was the 2nd song we recorded for our Christmas record.  I had suggested it to Greg.  He wasn’t familiar with how the song repeats everything.  And since we changed the song so that every repeat is a completely different progression, by the end of the song we were kind of exhausted.  It’s probably the craziest version of this song in existence."

Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

VOLANT RECORDS is proud to introduce a new voice to America —
Silvio “Silver” Nicastro, the young Italian-born baritone whose velvet phrasing, elegant tone, and unmistakable charm have set New York’s nightspots buzzing with excitement.

Recorded in the warm glow of the Midnight Studio Orchestra, Cigarettes & Moonlight brings together ten unforgettable performances that showcase Silver’s natural gift for romance, storytelling, and timeless melody. From the smoky intimacy of “Cigarettes & Moonlight” to the bright charm of “Darling of the Balcony Seats,” Silvio carries each note with effortless grace.

Listeners will be transported from the cobblestones of Mulberry Street to the glittering lights of Broadway, guided always by Silver’s signature blend of sincerity and sophistication. His voice recalls the golden age of crooning while offering a freshness all his own — a sound destined for living rooms, dance halls, and late-night radio across the nation.

This is an album for dreamers, lovers, and anyone who’s known the hush of a tender night.
With rich orchestration, intimate arrangements, and unmatched vocal warmth, Cigarettes & Moonlight marks the arrival of a remarkable new star.

This special remastered edition honors the enduring legacy of Silvio “Silver” Nicastro, whose life and career were tragically cut short in 1964 under circumstances that remain officially unresolved.

Though his catalog was modest in size, his influence proved vast. Musicians, historians, and devoted listeners have long pointed to the subtle layers—emotional and otherwise—woven through his work. The gentle melancholy, the coded turns of phrase, the glances between romance and revelation that seemed to hint at deeper truths beneath the polished surface of mid-century glamour.

What was once seen as stylish artistry is now recognized as the signature of a performer who understood more than he ever spoke aloud.

This remaster presents Cigarettes & Moonlight in its clearest form yet, restoring the warmth of Silver’s voice, the texture of the Midnight Studio Orchestra, and the nuances overlooked in earlier pressings. It also includes two rare bonus tracks — “Blue Fire in the Alley” and “Silent Streets” — long-rumored, seldom heard, and now preserved at last.

Silvio Nicastro’s star burned briefly, but with a glow that time could not dim.
This record stands as a testament to the charm, the artistry, and the quiet mystery of the man they called Silver.
