Pietro Ciancaglini: Consecutio

Read "Consecutio" reviewed by Neil Duggan


Acknowledged as one of the leading acoustic bassists in Italy, Pietro Ciancaglini branches out into new territory on Consecutio. In addition to his double bass, he plays Fender jazz bass, six-string electric bass and five-string fretless bass. He is supported by his long-time wingman Pietro Lussu on piano and Fender Rhodes, drummer Armando Sciommeri and vocalist Chiara Orlando. Orlando is a surprise package, using her voice as an instrumental resource, usually to wordlessly harmonise with the bass. Despite the lack ...

Nicola Conte: Umoja

Read "Umoja" reviewed by Chris May


Nicola Conte continues on his journey from acid-jazz bohemian to spiritual-jazz sophisticate with this immaculately hip album, fronted on half of its tracks by London-based soul-jazz divas Zara McFarlane and Bridgette Amofah. Conte began his trajectory with the acid-jazz template Jet Sounds (Schema, 2000), boosted it with Jet Sounds Revisited (Schema, 2002) and, after a brief post-hard-bop detour with Other Directions (Blue Note, 2004), began the spiritual-jazz ascent which has in 2023 reached its new, lofty apogee with ...

Alice Ricciardi, Pietro Lussu: Catch a Falling Star

Read "Catch a Falling Star" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

La cantante milanese è stata allieva di Blake al New England Conservatory ed ha assorbito la sua estetica rarefatta e straniante; Pietro Lussu è un pianista di alta sensibilità, tra i migliori in Italia, e vi si relaziona ...

Nicola Conte: Other Directions

Read "Other Directions" reviewed by Chris May


Since debuting with the quintessential acid-jazz suite Jet Sounds on the Milan-based label Schema in 2000, the composer, arranger, producer and guitarist Nicola Conte has released another ten exquisitely beautiful albums exploring acid jazz, spiritual jazz, soul jazz and bossa nova, often all on the same disc. Conte also produces other artists and has curated rare-groove bossa nova compilations for Far Out and modal-jazz compilations for Blue Note and MPS. Everything he does is erudite and lustrous and certain to ...
