“Moon In Libra” comes after a period of four years dedicated both to the production of “Outro Lugar” by Toco and to the search of a more mature and personal language. The album follows the same artistic path of the previous ones with a renewed passion for the Brazilian sonorities from the ’60s, and is influenced by the soul jazz atmospheres connected to noir movies. The project confirms the participation of well-known artists in the Milanese jazz scene such as Laura Fedele, Angie Brown, Manuela Ravaglioli, Toco, Adi Souza, Kal Dos Santos (Mitoka Samba), and Daniel Richards (appearead in Fedreghini & Bianchi’s project) performing a reinterpretation of “Stormy”, influenced by the bossa nova and Bobbie Gentry’s folk. Among the tracks we find a cover of “My Only Man” by Piero Umiliani originally singed by Helen Merrill and here revisited in an uptempo key without losing the original orchestral mood. We also bring the attention to Marco Decimo’s cello (Ludovico Einaudi’s collaborator) who gives a touch of elegance and intensity to some pieces. (by soul seduction)
