Record Store Day 2021 release.
Italian master percussionist (as well as Luciano Cilio percussionist) Toni Esposito`s first solo album. “Jazz and the Mediterranean: two worlds merging into one with the suspended atmospheres of “Rosso napoletano”. A magical record, capturing the most alluring aspects of Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and elevating them to an almost mystical lightness. Hypnotic funky grooves and a miniaturistic work on percussions are the key elements – and the most discreet one – of the sound, equally typified by charming keyboard brushstrokes (piano, e-piano, synthesizers, all unfolded with calm, equilibrium and an elegant sense of obliqueness) and wavering saxophone themes, metamorphosing Southern-Italian folklore into a new melodic language. The album succeeds in being both relaxing and thrilling at the same time: its delicate stream cradles and bewitches, but the everchanging breeze of its details won’t ever let you yawn.
