referencing Jet Sounds, CD, Album, CHIME 1

Great drifty album - the tunes really seem to mesh well with eachother, and the album flows really nicely - as if some of the tunes are fugues to the preludes of tunes preceeding them, whilst maintaining enough individuality to make them interesting. I would certainly not classify it as Acid Jazz, as is indicated above, but rather world music-influenced jazz, or something along those lines. The real Highlight for me is the dancefloor friendly "The In Samba.'
Rated 5/5

Nicola Conte channels the spirit of 60s Italian jazz and spy movie soundtracks into his debut album, Bossa Per Due, and the results are amazingly fun. The tracks here exude such happiness that it’s impossible not to have a smile on your face while listening to this album. There’s plenty here to liven up dinner gatherings or cocktail parties. “Bossa Per Due” makes you want to go for a drive down a sunny Mediterranean coast. “Fuoco Fatuo” should be played when you want to evoke that smoky, underground jazz club feel. And “La Coda Del Diavolo” is a must for any wild and crazy swingers in the party. And along with the joyousness, there’s quite a bit of accomplished songwriting and musicianship too. This is jazz at its perkiest.
