Appalooza - The Emperor Of Loss [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/17/2025

Sanders is incredible on tenor and soprano saxophones as well as flutes, bells and vocals; this multi-instrumental approach has made him one of the most sampled musicians of today and he is currently very fashionable with acid jazz and hip hop fans as well as his loyal core audience. Produced by Bill Laswell, his latest offering fuses African rhythms with traditional jazz idioms and even more futuristic ambient styles, making it appealing to dance, street and underground clubs.

The collection of madrigals InchI Diporti della villa in ogni stagioneInch (The Pastimes of the villa in each season), consists of poems that are chained like episodes of a story marked by the seasons, like details of a larger fresco praising the pleasures of life in the countryside in the alternation of the different moments of the year and illustrating, in a succession of lively images, the occupations and amusements to which those who live far from the urban glamour dedicate themselves in the various months. Fields, rivers, flowers, trees, a varied fauna, shepherds, farmers, wine, fruits, fishing, hunting, bathing, dancing of the nymphs appearing, as it were before the eyes of the listeners a colorful world full of that idyllic beauty longed for by intellectuals, in which echoes of the Arcadian world are felt, as already exalted in the Trionfo di Dori [Tactus, TC590003] and in many other madrigal productions of the time. Tony Corradini leads the Àrsi & Tèsi Vocal Ensemble in the performance of the madrigals dedicated to the seasons, set to music by some of the greatest composers of the Renaissance era.
