Vino Del Mar - Bacò (2015)

The second and final album from this band from Italy.

The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of percussions, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, sax and trumpet.

I am by no means a fan of their self-titled 2014 album. A pretty dull run-of-the-mill jazz album, it was. 

So no expectations to Baco, then....

The music here is still jazz. But there is a lot of fusion here and some Latin jazz too. 

The music is more melodic and there are a couple of really tasty guitar and piano solos here too. This inbetween the mainly trumpet and saxophone dominated music. 

There is a lot of life in the music and some tasty details. The music is mid tempo but still lively and well crafted.

The result is a big improvement on the debut album and an almost good album.

This thirty-five minutes long album is a name-your-price Bandcamp album and it is a worthy download.
