Description
Novecento / Nicolosi family is known in many countries of the word as, from 1997, they have been composing, arranging and producing music Cds distributed world-wide, balancing a busy performance schedule with a thriving production company and studio. Novecentoâ€™s band members including siblings Lino, Pino, and Rossanna Nicolosi, and Lino's wife DoraÂ now is presenting Featuring.. a "best of" their carrier, where a consolidate chemistry, lot of experience and many musical ideas are joined with many guests such as: Chaka Khan, Gino Vannelli, Sting, Billy Cobham, Michael Brecker, Stanley Jordan, Jeff Berlin, Toots Thielemans, Danny Gottlieb, Dave Liebman, Eddie Gomez, John Tropea, Wayne Dockery, Billy Preston, Guy Barker Jan Hammer, Dominic Miller, Mike Lindup, Gregg Kofi Brown. In a period in which, very often, jazz addresses itself to pop music looking for new repertoire, Novecento choose the opposite path. A pop group with an elitist style but still liked very much by the public, Novecento show themselves, ever since the very beginning of their success, very close to and fond of Afro-American music. Their natural tendency towards black music brought them naturally to approach the world of jazz: sometimes embracing it completely, sometimes stopping just close to the border, but always with one precise idea: a sound and a characteristic style, a Jazz-Funky-Pop cross-over, well-balanced and elegant. To sum up: a nocturne album, balanced with important music influences and arrangements among jazz, soul, funky and international pop music, always far away from banalities or clichÃ©s.
