Jazz is jazz. But too often is associated to a difficult-listening general idea from the masses.

We can say, in effect, that can be real. Sometime jazz is a very complex session of state of art musicians that go inside technicism and lose themselves in virtuosity. A real technical performance heaven, but too hard for many hears.

In spite of this Hugo ‘Droopy’ Contini, like other good jazz musicians, bring the jazz world into the masses with an elegant, fizzy and fresh 5-tracks EP called Surpriscording.

The opening track Dewey Square and Sandu are a loving swing jazz tracks. The difference is mainly in their velocity: the first one is a breathless fast dancing track, the second is a little bit slower with an excellent piano solo.

Beats Goes On is a fantastic hard-bop track, similar to the one used by the US3 on their Cantaloop hit. Very tasty.

Dexterity and Captain Hugo are the classic jazz ones of the EP.
