Chriss Onac is an artist that take inspiration from undred differet other artists. He really likes to put together pieces of different instruments, touch of differents musical styles. The result is a miscellaneous EP you must listen carefully!

Oriental soud and a misterious sax in the first, opening track, Occidorient, with a grooving swing from grate percussions, electronic guitars and quick flutes!

Really deeply electronic is Influences, third track, where however a sax makes the atmosphere elegant and sophisticated.

Funky Drunky, track four, has a pressing rhythm: grate mix of electronic guitar, sax, bass guitar and more…

Start calm and relaxing Flutes on the air, the last song, but it’s just a joke: after fiew seconds rhythm and swing will groove up in a fascinating and hypnotic atmosphere!

Paolo Pavan’s jazz is poetic, romatic and frequently joyful.

He’s masters had been Stefano Sabatini, pianist and composer, and Riccardo Biseo, famous pianist, arranger and director of recording productions.

From this kind of experience and through  the collaboration with several folk, pop, rock and jazz band he draw by he’s music different styles and sonorities.

The result is that you have pieces like Looking a for a way out or Pablito’s Way, were rhythm and swing are pressing and fast, and you also have songs like Second and Slow Change, relaxing, refined, atmospheric jazz.

In the middle, you will find In praise of  Honey Rose, that is half swingful and half soft and romantic.

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.

Simply astonishing this album.

This group from Stockholm fuse together numberless styles of music: from metal to jazz, from liric to gipsy.

It’s really incredible how do thei are able to compose strange songs, perfectly harmonious, setting together so differents instrumets, so differents sounds took from several countryes in the world.

The 5th song D’angelo, for example, is partially sang in italian by a soprano:  can really give you a shiver along you back!

Gipsy and metal guitars are sometimes played together, in a strange and extraordinary alchemy.

This album want to teel you a story, an epic and obscure story: are you ready to listen it?

Sweet album…

The voice, warm and soft, envelop  you in an pink, foggy atmosphere.

You are eating a big ice cream, toddling about the Luna Park, happy and thoughtless.

The first song, L’Amanite, sum up all the peculiarity of this mini-album that is really a small, juicy candy!

Very interesting the melody that pass through all the album: a composition of blues, pop, french traditional and other different kind of music.

A super album, energetic and flowing!

Only six songs are composing this small blues jewel made in France.

Straightaway, we must talk about swing: like a snake, it pass through all the songs, sinuously and winningly.

The only thing that you can do now is let your feet moves, your head roll with this pressing rhythm and your mind feel happy and carefree.

A fantabulous harmonica, plaied in a brilliant way expecially in Steady B, take you directly inside, in the core of the album.

Wonderful trumpet in Tribute to the kings, a refined composition of different sounds.

We wont forget the other pieces,my goodness! All great and well played songs.

So, at last, listen and enjoy with us: this is a really smart blues alchemy!

“The Jazz Farm” is the first work of Oprachina.

The quartet is composed from a guitar, a sax, a drum and a bass.

Listening the album, you will discover a worl of different compositions of sound. From the first song, Porta D’Arce, calm and soft, to the last song, Nitro, fast and full of energy, the whole album is crossed from musical up and down, relaxing and frenetic pieces. Until the end, you’ll be costantly surprise from the changing melodies, from the freshness of the songs.

Their repertoire consists of original compositions where the approach is jazz element connecting between the parties in writing, obliged, and improvised.

This album is the first of Oprachina, but we are waiting for the second one that, we know, is coming soon!

Soul, jazz and blues are the essential components of this EP.

The velvety voice of Allyssa Jones offer you an example of the new generationof american blues singers.

The first song, Kiss & Run, maybe is the most expressive of the three.

This album is a recording of a live performance of Allyssa Jones for JazzBoston Jazz Week and the Somerville Open Studios third annual Music Fest on May 2, 2008.

Ogg Vorbis are veterans on Jamendo, with many albums released, but this is, we think, the most tasty, delightful and suggestive album they issued.

Underscore is a well balanced fusion of various kind of music, from soundtrack to funk, from electronic to jazz. It’s a good friend when you work, drive or simply relax.

The voice of Amelia June is simply perfect, remembering the style of Emiliana Torrini, or Hooverphonic.

Trying to define the best track of the album, we think You’re Not Alone is the best performance, with its gipsy guitar played into an electronic sea, elegantly blended with Amelia’s voice.

In all of its essence we feel Underscore a brilliant little masterpiece.
