Children'S Blues

Reprint of a classic 80s, the fifth disc of Turin Arts & Crafts. The record was released in late 1985. The 1986 will be the year of a great disc fusion as "Tutu", an LP that will mark - for good or bad - that time: a disc of Miles Davis, of course, but behind c ' was the young genius Marcus Miller. "Mutatis mutandis", behind the great Furio Chirico was the young Anthony Salerno, author and arranger of all the tracks on the disc. The fifth lp of A & M not any mutual davisiana atmosphere of the time: the journey continues in the fusion more "mainstream", coated, fine workmanship and packaging. More compact and finished the previous "Aquarius", the album revolves around three long tracks: "Mulele", the bluesy title track and "Waiting for Laura at Banfora Hotel" see big sweep woodwinds, brass-sections as Ryhthm & Blues, in the wake of renowned colleagues as Steps Ahead of "Magnetic", but also Spyro Gyra and Bill Norman Group. The moments are more energetic sottlineati guitar - hectic and sparkling - Mario Petracca. As usual, the drumming of Chirico surprising: an impressive precision, with bassist Umberto Mari finishes creates rhythmic and imaginative, although more square than in the past, high-level, sometimes dizzy (think of the last track). Do not miss the classic sketches A & M: low in "Eby", romantic and intense to "Next time", a theme very Zawinuliano. "Ouagadougou" is instead a funky jazz lively and spirited, one of the best compositions of the new A & M. As in "Aquarium", are meeting to jazz sounds modern and classical influences R & B and soul, organized with the class as did the Yellowjackets (in 1985 he released the excellent "Mirage a trois"). "Rhythm 'n' jazz" Therefore, derivative but played with his usual professionalism. "Children's blues" is a record in line with the sounds ottantiane and will appeal to lovers of that period.
