Love & Revolution
Nicola Conte
A bold new chapter in the career of Nicola Conte - quite possibly his most collaborative record to date, and easily his most righteous as well! Although Conte looks cheesy on the cover, his style here is even deeper than before - still driven by the classic modal and bossa sounds of the 60s that you'll remember from earlier records, yet also infused with a sense of spiritual jazz too - a vibe that's perfect for the album's placement on Impulse Records, where Conte's got a way of linking together the best 60s and 70s aspects of the label's aesthetic! He gets plenty of help in the process - wonderful vocals from the likes of Gregory Porter, José James, Alice Ricciardi, and others - trumpet from Till Bronner, Fabrizio Bosso, and Flavio Boltro - tenor from Magnus Lindgren and Tim Warfield, flute and baritone from Timo Lassey, and loads of other groovy touches too! Nicola Conte's never let us down - and this record is a rich reward for all the faith we've had in him over the years - a bit like the way that Gilles Peterson's always changing and growing, yet still always keeps true to his roots.
