Available from Cose Sonore / Alman Music the monographic playlist of one of the most representative bands in Hot Jazz Gypsy Manouche.

Remarkable experience of musical research, Alma Swing follows a typical european tradition, which was (between the Thirties and the Forties, as still today) hot jazz. This genre was contaminated by the manouche culture of the North Europe gypsies, as well as by the parisian popular fashion and the afro-american swing craze. Apart from the US events, Alma Swing holds in the aesthetic bases of a string jazz with direct reference to Django Reinhardt's guitar style and Stéphane Grappelli's finesse. Those were certainly among the main heroes of french jazz. Thanks to a variety of program and show proposals, Alma Swing opens to the current time the most peculiar contents of this music, from the repertory and the executive procedures, carried out by means of  the typical set of instruments and the melting pot of jazz and gypsy idioms. According to a rétro orchestra silhouette and to an acoustic line up, where the typical manouche guitars and the fiddle are protagonists, Alma Swing plays with personality the suggestions of an age impressed in the vinyl and in the grammophons voices, remarking the contemporary wide success of music.

The band that has recently performed together with guitarist Bireli Lagrene will be in concert next Wednesday at Blue Note in Milan.

The official playlist collects all the tracks of the albums Rythme Futur, Django en Italie and the latest Gypsy Wanderlust made in collaboration with the Italian jazz guitarist Franco Cerri.

SPHERE by New Project Orchestra & Roberto Spadoni feat. Fabrizio Bosso - Now also available in all digital stores.

The figure of American pianist and composer Thelonious Sphere Monk has continued to grow bigger after his death in 1982 and the legacy he left behind is a monument in the history of the twentieth century arts. He is today one of the most studied, performed and replayed musicians in the jazz scene.

SPHERE was realized by New Project Orchestra as a tribute to the great artist in the thirtieth anniversary of the disappearance and revisits some pages of his extraordinary repertoire. The arrangements and the direction of Roberto Spadoni are developed starting from the piano performances of Monk, amplified then by the orchestral staff. Ten tracks signed by Monk are flanked by two original compositions born of ideas, fragments and ideas captured by his human and expressive universe. The project is enriched by the participation of the special guest Fabrizio Bosso.

Tracklist: I Mean You, Monk's Mood, Monk Ring, Little Rootie Tootie, Introspection, Epistrophy, Brilliant Corner, Crepuscule With Nellie, Ubi Minor, Major Cessat, Straight No Chaser, 'Round Midnight, Thelonious.

Available on CD and in all digital stores the wonderful dixie-jazz reinterpretation of the best Disney repertoire.

Even the TIGER DIXIE BAND wants to celebrate and pay homage to Mickey Mouse on the occasion of his 90th birthday. They do it in its own way, re-reading some of the most famous songs and melodies of Disney's legacy, starting right from "Mickey Mouse March". From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to "The Jungle Book", from "The Aristocats" to "Mery Poppins", the Band confronts this timeless sound, able to speak the language of Jazz with the very young people and, especially, shortening the distances between popular culture and art.

Jazz immediately comes to mind when speaking of the legacy of Walt Disney. Over one hundred years of audio-visual production by Disney in the Hollywood studios has left an indelible mark on listeners throughout the world. In both feature-length films and cartoons, Dixieland, swing and orchestral jazz have always been present, with film soundtracks building a new audience of young listeners, generating original compositions which have become standards in the jazz repertoire, and creating a recognisable genre in the recording industry. Among the most well known examples are the Disney-themed albums by Louis Armstrong, Stan Getz and Duke Ellington, indicative of a strongly forged link between Disney compositions and the styles and periods in jazz.  Tiger Dixie Band has expanded its repertoire to include this timeless musical tradition, balancing history and fantasy with a program that spans Disney productions old and new. In this way the group almost becomes a theatrical popular work, bringing jazz to new young audiences as well as reaching out to those who first encountered these tunes in their youth, and has created once again a winning musical combination of pop culture and art.

Available on CD or in all digital stores the new Album by Eloisa Atti.

Together with her band of veterans, Eloisa Atti presents the album Edges. Mixed in Tucson by the legendary Craig Schumacher and mastered in Italy by Giovanni Versari (Grammy 2016 for "Best Rock Album"), Edges is a completely original work. It has a sound which is a combination of country-jazz, blues and folk, all of which are given a unique colour with the addition of Eloisa’s very Italian taste for melody. Eloisa Atti's songs tell moving stories that linger on long after the song has ended.

As Eloisa explains, the "edges" of the title "are the extreme edges, the margins that enclose our sense of identity, the lines that are both a separation and a juncture between different worlds, liminal spaces that are the stage for sharp differences and indissoluble constraints. The edge can be the ridge of a cliff, the border between the ground on which we walk and a dimension that does not belong to us: it is the space between us and the mystery that at the same time protects us and exposes us, limits us and connects us to the rest of the world”.
