The Modern Sound of Nocola Conte (2CD) (Album)

Italian Jazzhead Nicola Conte returns with a double-cd compiling the re-worked, i.e. fully new arranged tracks he has produced in the last years as so called "remixes" for some of his friends, who also happen to be some of the most interesting contemporary jazz artists of the world. From Italy to Brasil, Latin America, the USA, Japan and back to Scandinavia and Germany, "The Modern Sound Of Nicola Comte" takes us on a journey into the most tasteful sounds you can get when it comes to Bossa flavored Jazz, Latin excursions and soulful grooves.

Working with some of the world's finest musicians, Nicola's "Modern Sound" features household names such as Amercian legend Mark Murphy or German Jazz superstar Till Brönner. Modern hipsters Helsinki's The Five Corner Quintet are like Nicola dedicated to preserve the spirit of the best 50ies and 60ies jazz, while percussionists Roberto Roena and Luisito Quintero represent two generations of Latin rhythm fever. The music of Norwegians The Bobby Hughes Combination and of American group Thunderball from Thievery Corporation's ESL Records comes from a more eclectic and electronic background, but Nicola turns their respective tracks into elegant Jazz takes nevertheless. Dub" you will learn to love the extraordinary sound and music qualities provided.
