Saxophonist, composer, arranger and music educator Sam Pilnick presents The Project, - the sophomore recording with his large ensemble, Sam Pilnick's Nonet Project. The Project is a study in the growth of the saxophonist, composer, arranger and band leader, featuring songs and arrangements from throughout the ensemble's 8 year existence. InchFor this second album, my goal was to present a wide range of compositions and arrangements that reflect not only my own musical growth, but also the versatility, creativity, and cohesion of the ensemble as a whole.Inch The album is a genre-blending journey, moving fluidly between styles and moods from an early big band-inspired take on Thelonious Monk's Pannonica, to Southbound Trail-a Latin and swing-infused portrait of walking along Chicago's Lake Michigan shoreline-to a spacey, uptempo rock interpretation of John Mayer's Neon. Each track highlights the band's ability to stretch across stylistic boundaries while staying grounded in deep musical connection. Album Tracks 1. 60657 2. Southbound Trail 3. Life Is 4. Neon 5.

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
