NICOLA CONTE’s new album „LOVE & REVOLUTION“ -> Simple a „must have“ for every Jazz music lover!
Nicola Conte’s newest release, Love & Revolution represents a bold new chapter in his long-term career – quite possibly his most collaborative record to date, and easily his most righteous as well! Different from his previous releases, Love & Revolution is being released by Impulse Records, which in essence is perfect when you consider that this album is infused with a sense of spiritual jazz. This is actually the perfect vibe, especially in how Nicola Conte links together the best 60’s and 70’s aspects of the labels aesthetic. An international all-star cast collaborats on this project, like the vocalists Nailah Porter, Jose James, Bridgette Amofah, Gregory Porter, Alice Ricciardi and Melanie Charles – plus Till Bronner, Fabrizio Bosso, and Flavio Boltro on trumpet; Magnus Lindgren and Tim Warfield on tenor; as well as Timo Lassey on flute and baritone. Other musicians include Gaetano Partipilo, Pietro Lussu, Paolo Benedettini, Teppo Makynen and Pierpaolo Bisogno.
„Love & Revolution“ contains the benefits of beautiful arrangements from Magnum Lindgren in an album where the human voice is the protagonist, while blending seamlessly with a sound carpet (if you will) of extraordinary effectiveness. It is within this context that Nicola Conte assembled these extraordinary musicians for a live recording – reserving only a few additions during post production. Absolutely amazing and wonderful to listen to – simple a „must have“ for every Jazz music lover!
