Trailer SIXTIES MOOD 

The single: WHENEVER YOU  feat. Benny Benack III

________________________________________________________


L’ invenzione del Soul viene comunemente attribuita a Ray Charles che fonde il lamento del Gospel con il trascinante impeto del Rhythm and Blues.

Il Soul si afferma come musica nera per eccellenza dai ’60 in poi e ben presto contamina anche il Jazz. Gli anni sessanta come terreno fertile per nuovi innesti stilistici. Il quintetto caratterizzato dalle sonorità dell’organo Hammond, strumento che vive la sua consacrazione proprio in quel periodo, e dall’ostinata ritmicità dei fiati propone una selezione di brani che ben rende la suddetta fusione di generi. L’aggiunta di testi a temi notoriamente strumentali e di un brano inedito “in the Sixties mood” spoglia il lavoro da una rischiosa banalità ed al contrario lo veste di una non scontata originalità.

 

ENGLISH

 

The invention of Soul is commonly attributed to Ray Charles, who fused the wailing of Gospel with the driving rush of Rhythm and Blues. Soul established itself as the quintessential black music from the 1960s onward and soon contaminated Jazz as well. The 1960s as fertile ground for new stylistic graft. The quintet characterized by the sounds of the Hammond organ, an instrument experiencing its consecration in that period, and the obstinate rhythmicity of the woodwinds offers a selection of songs that well renders the aforementioned fusion of genres. The addition of lyrics to notoriously instrumental themes and of an unreleased track "in the sixties mood" strips the work of a risky banality and on the contrary dresses it with an unassuming originality.
