Ukitusa Quintet
CD (Item 627167) Schema/Rearward (Italy), 2012 — Condition: New Copy
An amazing collaboration between musicians from three different nations – recorded high in the mountains in Northern Italy – with an equally majestic sound to match! The album's especially noteworthy for being a great space for vocalist Cleveland Watkiss to really rediscover the jazz-based side of his talents – using his voice like an instrument, in ways we haven't always heard since his initial years of promise – and really impressing us with a new sort of righteous range and spiritual depth! Most of Watkiss' vocals are wordless, and flow beautifully amongst the piano from Antonio Figura, bass from Milko Ambrogini, drums from Ettore Fioravanti, and guitars from William Lenihan. The overall sound is mostly acoustic, without any of the processing from other recent Watkiss projects – and the tunes are all originals by the group, with a mix of slow modal grooves and open searching styles. Titles include "Synastry", "Modus", "Dear Mr Kuhn", "Innocenza Ritrovata", "Fiume Di Gennaio", "When The Dust Settles", and "My Little Effe". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | ||||||
