The long-awaited return of The Jazz Convention – a group we first grew
to love for a late 90s release on Schema Records – finally back here
with a set that's an equally great cooker! As before, there's a strong
60s vibe to the music – heavy soul jazz and modal elements – in a blend
that's somewhere between vintage Blue Note, and some of the more
grooving music of the European scene. The front hornline is wonderful –
Fabrizio Bosso on trumpet and Gaetano Partipilo on alto – working with
spectacular rhythms from the trio of Claudio Filippini on piano,
Giuseppe Bassi on bass, and Fabio Accardi on drums. Bosso's trumpet is
especially great – as soulful and sparkling as ever – and titles include
"Yes I Can No You Can't", "Hozic", "Silly Toy", "In Volo", "Endless
Dream", and "Silversonic".
