The debut album from this band from Italy.
The band was a ten piece big band/orchestra with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, violin, synths, flute, saxophone, trumpet and vocals.
This is a new discovery to me and I am putting it into the new albums que as a friend in ProgArchives made me aware of this album and wanted a review.
This fifty minutes long album has female Italian vocals and lots of woodwinds. It is a jazz or a fusion album then... Well, not quite that although the basis of their music is jazz.
Blend this jazz with some folk rock and dream pop and you are there.... somewhere in that ballpark.
The music is slow and gentle. It has a lot of details too. There is not much vocals here but it is very effective. The violins too is very good and among the main attractions on this album.
The instrumental pieces here are very good. The album has a good ambience and the band/orchestra does a good job on some not so great songs.
The overall result is a very good album and one to check out if light and pastoral jazz is your thing.
3.5 points
