This time Schema Records would like to present you the re-mastered version of \u201cNovo Esquema Da Bossa\u201d of Quintetto X, previously released in the autumn of 1995. This version (apart for new cover art) contains also three tracks taken from the 12\u201d – RTX201 \u201cBalanca pema\/Suono nuovo\/Mentira\u201d which have never been released on CD. With this single “Quintetto X” confirms their strong Italian jazz identity with an album that demonstrates a spontaneous yet well crafted fusion between Soul, Jazz and Brazilian Bossa.<\/p>\n
“Quintetto X” is from Bari, which is on the edge of the \u201cheel\u201d in Italy. This land is a meeting point where energies gather shaping surroundings and emotions. \u201cThe Fez\u201d cultural group has made these surroundings the settings for their creations. Comments taken from the linear notes of the album: \u201cNovo Esquema Da Bossa \u201cor else \u201cNew Bossa Outlook\u201d is for us a movement, an attitude and a rhythm. It is the development of an idea that evolves from the appreciation of its own cultural distinctiveness. It is the southern light. It is contemporary music inspired from Afro-American, Brazilian and Italian jazz which slinks form the author\u2019s song to the beat poetry. It is the tempo of modern music that creates its best art with delicacy. It favours spontaneity rather than perfection as well as creation as opposed to the final product. Rumbling cymbals clanging clanks on percussive beats of a drum: fusion version definition. Imagination, creativity, wonder, exploration and innovation. Jazz is a spontaneous invention. Its patterns exist to be excelled at and transcended beyond any kind of human dimension. These frames are in fact considered as \u201claunching pads\u201d towards totally undiscovered destination.<\/p>\n
In \u201cNovo Esquema da Bossa\u201d, starting from the cover, inspired by both the Quartetto di Lucca and Sergio Mendes, it is easy to perceive the vibes of some intense longings which give body to a highly fervent musical attitude recognizable as being Italian. Here, in this playful musical game of modern Brazilian music, Italian flavors and jazz. It is not difficult to feel that Mina and Ornella Vanoni are the reference for \u201cC\u2019\u00e8 pi\u00f9 Samba\u201d and \u201cSenza Paura\u201d, while Joyce and Edu Lobo are the source of inspiration for \u201cLuce Del Sud\u201d. On the other hand, \u201cJody Grind\u201d is a soul-jazz classic by Horace Silver here arranged in the fashion of Sergio Mendes Brazil \u201966 while keeping in mind the Mereilles & Copa 7\u2019s version that, together with Eumir Deodato, created fantastic arrangements for both Ellis Regina or Marcos Valle whose lesson can be seen in \u201cMeu Desespero\u201d. \u201cEsquema da Bossa\u201d and \u201cCeu Azul\u201d instead, openly reflect the style of Hermeto and Airto\u2019s Quartetto Novo while, here and there, it is a joy to perceive a very effective Tamba Trio\u2019s touch. Some intense reminiscence of Franco d\u2019Andrea and Dom Salvador can be heard in Piero\u2019s piano playing when, at the same time, some of these sounds, gently remind the absolutely dazzling style of the honourable 1971\u2019s duo Cicci Santucci & Enzo Scoppa, as well recalling both Mandrake of the 75\u2019s experience and Archie Shepp at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
