Nicola Conte ist so etwas wie der Playboy des guten Geschmacks. Immer perfekt gekleidet, feiert der Italiener auf Album und Bühne eine nicht enden wollende Party aus in die Beine gehendem Jazz, Soul und Bossa Nova.
Contes neues Werk ist nicht nur das perfekte Sommeralbum 2011, sondern auch ein musikalisches Feuerwerk ohne gleichen. Mit Gastsängern wie den New-Jazz-Stars José James und Nailah Porter, und einer Musikergarde in nahezu Bigband-Größe, u. a. mit Till Brönner, beweist er hier, dass Liebe und Revolution, Kopf und Bauch, Jazz und Ohrwürmer keine Gegensätze sein müssen.
Diese grandios arrangierten Jazz-Hymnen sprühen vor Energie, Spiritualität und Sinnlichkeit. Zuallererst machen sie einfach Spaß, beim zweiten Hören kann man dann Vorbilder wie die Jazz-Ikonen Pharoah Sanders und Max Roach, die politischen Soulstars Marvin Gaye und Roy Ayers, oder sogar psychedelische Folk-Figuren wie die Byrds und Jefferson Airplane entdecken. Klassische Stilmittel und Formen bei einem betont zeitgemäßen und modernen Sound, genau für diesen Brückenschlag steht Nicola Conte.
Nicola Conte’s newest release, Love & Revolution represents a bold new chapter in the career of Nicola Conte – 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 Conte links together the best 60’s and 70’s aspects of the labels aesthetic. Collaborators on this project include vocals from Gregory Porter, Jose James, Alice Ricciardi, among others; plus Till Bronner, Fabrizio Boss, 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, Bridgette Amofah, Nailah Porter, Fabrizio Bosso, 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.
The end result – absolutely amazing and wonderful to listen to! Over the years, Nicola Conte's continues to release the very best in jazz music and this release continues that tradition. Tracks include "Love From The Sun", "Here", "Black Spirits", "Quiet Dawn", "Shiva", "Ghana", "I'm The Air", "Ra In Egypt", and "All Praises To Allah". In addition, there is also a 2-CD version of Love & Revolution with 6 more cuts that include "Forest Flower", "Freedom Day", "The Black Apostles", and "Autumn In Our Town".
