Luciano Mosetti - Ela - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

David Wright - Sonata for Clarinet & Piano [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/04/1993

The highly anticipated long player from DJ, producer and musician Lorenzo Morresi alongside 22a tag boss, DJ, producer and musician Tenderlonious, sees them serve up 11 irresistible tracks inspired by Italo jazz funk and the Italian library sound.In the late 1960s and early 1970s Italian soundtrack and library music went through it's most experimental, prolific and dazzling period having a strong radio presence in both Europe and the US. Musicians and composers such as Piero Umiliani, Amleto Armando Roelens and even Ennio Morricone were regularly experimenting with idiosyncratic combinations of jazz, electronic, progressive, disco, funk and psych genres.It was their mutual love of these 60s and 70s soundtracks that brought Lorenzo Morresi and Tenderlonious together. After performing alongside each other at a festival in Italy back in 2017 the idea was quickly conceived to put together a fresh take starting with that early 1970s Italian style, using contemporary analogue inspired arrangements combined with experimental and joyful 'tongue-in-cheek' sounds that could work on the dance floor as well as at home. Tracks like InchNuda SorgenteInch, InchDoppio SognoInch and InchEstateInch are club oriented with a musical crossover from old- to- new. 'Estate' is a cover from the classic jazz standard by Italian singer Bruno Martino.Tender and Morresi worked tirelessly between Italy and London for approximately 2 years carefully shaping their album 'Cosmica Italiana' InchWith this project we've done our best to deliver our own interpretation of this wonderful era of Italian music and rediscover a beautiful genre, whilst maintaining a strong respect and admiration for the sounds that those original Italian masters created. Their records impressed and inspired us and we hope it will be the same for our listeners today.InchCosmica Italiana / Bazar Milano / Nuda Sorgente / Tema Cin

Luciano Biondini is one of the few outstanding masters of the accordion in Europe, a musician who is at home with jazz music as well as being deeply rooted in the music of his homeland the Mediterranean.After two CDs with Swiss drummer Lucas Niggli and French tuba player Michel Godard, Biondini has recorded a solo album for the Intakt tag, dedicated entirely to the music of the area he grew up in the city of Spoleto, in Umbria, Northern Italy. His plays some of the great Italian InchcanzoniInch from the 60s, 70s and 80s, which are well know by everyone in Italy. These chart-toppers were sung by Gino Paoli, Domenico Modugno, Ernesto de Curtis and Pino Daniele, the icons of the InchCantautoriInch scene of that era. One tune is from Ennio Morricone - the melancholic title song for Giuseppe Tornatore's movie InchCinema ParadisoInch. Biondini plays it with passion and emotional power. Jazz critic Christian Rentsch says InchHow Luciano Biondini manages it, how he doesn't give the sentimental melody away right from the start but creeps up on the theme, so to speak, continuously bending it in the course of the piece, playing around it, making it disappear and magically reappear, this shows the mastery.Inch
