I said the other day that the spearhead trio of Schema Records Italian jazz scene was Gerardo Frisina, Gianluca Petrella and Nicola Conte and all of a sudden, we a new entry into the 'Champions League' positions, Tema Due!
If you're "a fan of the Schema 'school' of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Latin and all points south of the Italian base of the label for many years" as in that most recent Gerardo Frisina album referred to above, 'Insight' Vol. 2 (see review HERE), you'll wonder what's hit you with Tema Due is equal measure of Latin jazz dance perfection and modern Brazilian House.
'Macumba De Oxalà' is heavy on the percussion and jazz-vocal whilst 'La Danse de l'esprit' is
the keyboard/flute gang fusion for the jazz dance de la Balearics.
Ask yourself, what would Airto and Flora Purim do if they had just arrived in Bari 30 years ago?
And that's what Nico Lahs brings to Conte's sharp jazz suits with house remix credits for Alton
Miller and Detroit legend Amp Fiddler. Obsessed with 60s jazz and modern dancefloor, this
release is perfect.
