Il barese Nicola Conte , uno dei massimi rappresentanti mondiali della musica acid jazz (una miscela esplosiva di jazz, elettronica e ritmi afro-cubani), nel corso di un'intervista concessa ai redattori del portale Affaritaliani ha sommato la sua voce a quella di chi, in passato così come adesso, reputa inutile e persino dannosa la logica dei talent show, specie considerando la forte presa che questi ultimi riescono ad avere sulle giovani generazioni: "X Factor è la morte della musica, ed è offensivo per gli artisti. Il jazz è ritenuto poco vendibile, quindi [...]

The time has come! Summer is upon us, and for me, as a blogger, it can only mean one thing: Time for the annual summer mix! However, this year's will be quite different from the previous ones, hence its appearance here instead of the main blog. This time around, I made it with a clear theme in mind: To create a soundtrack for a fantastic summer getaway fantasy. Exotic locales, improbably blue skies, palm trees & white sands... steel drums. You name it all. Summer Getaway is a concoction of [...]

All right, here is the last section to the last best of I'm going to do, because this thing was just too big of a pain to do. Maybe next year it'll just be a list and some songs. I didn't write stuff for everyone, and at this point I've got too much to do in order to write enough about everyone, so I don't even want to attempt to fill in the blanks, because I'll feel bad about doing a sub-standard job. These are the albums I loved most of all this year, so just [...]

Keeping things on the Bossa Nova tip, I present the latest release from Italian DJ, Nicola Conte called "Rituals". Previous releases had more club jazz feel to them, whereas this release for the most part is shaken bossa nova and not stirred. Still a stunning release non the less. Nicola Conte - Paper Clouds (ft. Chiara Civello) Related Posts Isabelle Antena - Omerta (Bossa remix by nicola conte) Waldeck - Why Did We Fire That Gun [...]

The Italian captain of all things cool has recently selected his favorites for Viagem , a super dope compilation of '60s-'70s Brazilian Bosa Nova and samba jazz music from Far Out Recordings .

Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction. ~ Barack Obama . " Hold on to your pants. The Future is here. " 01.

Some people call it acid jazz but of all the musical genres, that one is just horribly named. It implies some sort of free-range hippie explorations of sound and what Nicola Conte does is anything but unstructured. It's tight. So tight, your head and feet start gyrating within seconds of his music hitting your ear canal. The guy does a great job of mixing together swinging bossa nova beats with cool seductive horns, strings and vocals for a lounge veneer. In usual DJ fashion, he blasted out of the gate with his [...]
