Really remarkable job for a band, composed by two italian musicians, that is active from the distant 1990.

Smart mix of many different kind of sounds, this album gives you the sensation of a long trip all around a world made of different rhythms, exotic musical instruments and magnetic voices.

A sophisticated ensemble of experience, creativity and a elegant making up!

For example, listening Riding the dune, second track, from the first second of the song you will find Moroccan sonorities mixed with a piano and a groovy rhythm.

Exquisitely electronic, My home in the sky, the fourth track, is too relaxing.

Nice groove in Ulica, track number five, where the arabic atmosphere is mixed with electronic and funky sounds .

A bonzo voice start track number six, Grape of grace, that includes the traditional far-east gong and that seems a buddhist sutra with an electronic subsound.

Deva dasis, track eight, certainly can reminds you indians instrumets mixed with very well played drums.

So let you ears be involved in this glamouros album.

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.

Very well arranged and mixed, this album blend different type of music.

In every song, jazz act as a glue, but contaminated by different kind of sonority, new and fresh combinations of sounds.

If  La note en cage it’s a more traditional jazz piece, that you usually listen relaxed on your sofa drinking a good whisky, Péninsule can take you away, far away, offering you a caipiriña, under a bent palm, breathing the sweet sea breeze in a perfect summer sunset.

Than come Sumbala, that take you straight in Africa, with its pressing percussions and its sound, perhaps not so jazz but really refined.

Again traditional jazz in L’agonie de lispecteur C, sensationally played.

More and more…

Well, this albun will amaze you with innumerable combinations of different styles of music, tied together by jazz.

It’s a work that can surprise you and make you know  a new way to play jazz.

Sit down in a confortable sofa.

Relax and put on this album. You will be surprised to the different kind of styles that are mixed together.

The result? A rich jazz, nearly sumptuous, played in a impeccable way.

Born in 2007, this album includes pieces played by a jazz quintet, made up of  piano, sax, trumpet, drum and double bass. The project  had devised and composed by  Paolo Pavan.

For a soft and candlelight evening, I suggest you Opposites and Silent, both refined and relaxing songs.

To taste the best dense swing, you have to listen Urban Slanging: amazing!.

Actually, all the songs of the album are marvellous. At every hearing, you will discover a new sound or a sign that you didn’t hear before.

So…come on: try it!

They are simply wonderful!

This is the second album of Innvivo and, as they say, this one is more mature and complete than the first.

The opening song, Cet Homme, with its non-stop changing of rhythm, is definitely well-made.

But the third song, La Grand Sequoia, put a little bit of  pepper under your feet and you start to move them, out of your own control: majestic swing!

The second-last song, This Noise, has an incredible verve and a sound that remind the rhythm of the best tradition of jazz.

You must listen it: it’s just grate!
