CD (Item 416154) Via Veneto (Italy), 2002 — Condition: New Copy

The first album by a really great Italian jazz combo – a group who bristle with the fire and soul of older Blue Note acts from the 60s! The feel here is more conventional hardbop than some of the more groove-based club jazz coming out of the Italian scene of late – but that's a-ok with us, because these guys have really go their chops down – and can make even a straight ahead record like this cook with plenty of energy! Many of the tunes here are original numbers penned by members of the groups – tracks that hit that mix of modal and soul jazz styles that resonated so strongly on mid 60s work by Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan – and given the strong tenor work on the set by Daniele Scannapieco and trumpet by Fabrizio Bosso, the album's certainly got plenty of qualities to match the Mobley and Morgan sound! Titles include "Ju-da", "Rong Time Rag Time", "Agosto", "On The Way Home", "Dear J", "Waiting For D", and a great cover of Horace Silver's "The Jody Grind".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
