Yeah ok, it is a nice album, first thing I've heard since that 'this is what you are' on the schema release 'was a bee' a few years back. Remember thinking then who's this guy?
Have to admit to being mildy irritated by this though, very slickly produced and a bit like a very talented karaoke singer doing Jon Lucien an' Gil Scot Heron impersonations with a touch of the Mark Murphys thrown in for good measure. Have a sort of love/hate thing goin on with all the Ital stuff of late, Nicola Conte et al, hopefully people who pick up on it'll take it further an find out who these people are influenced by and in many cases actually downright plagiarising. Not read the sleeve notes to Mario's albums but would be nice to see some creative influence sources being mentioned. Sadly though as usual, the industries all about marketing. Hahaha I'm being a wrinkly old Jazz git innit??? A very good album but would say to anyone buying this to grab up any Jon Lucien albums they can first, also Leon Thomas, Eddie Jefferson or Mark Murphy. Well, there ya go! Feel the Love Feel the Love!
