Synthesis is the second album from this young music project by Claudio Scolari, Daniele Cavalca and Simone Scolari. After the great success of their previous album Colors of Red Island, this new album expands on the musical ideas created in the first album: It continues the soundscape of melodies and harmonies coming from different musical styles and furthers the expression of this new and original wave of modern jazz. Musicians on the album are: Claudio Scolari – Drums, percussion, Synth Computer, Flute; Daniele Cavalca – Drum, Vibraphone, Piano, Melodica, Bass; and Simone Scolari – Trumpet.

We've never heard Max Mersney before – but the set's definitely one that makes us want to say "thanks" – given the deeply soulful approach to the groove! The set's definitely a jazz one – but it's also balance between funky and smooth sides of the spectrum – in a style that really echoes some 70s electric modes, yet which comes across with a freshly contemporary vibe in the end! Keyboards are as heavy as Max's lines on alto sax and flute – lots of great Fender Rhodes and organ that really help give the record a really soulful feel. Titles include "The 4th", "Back To New York", "Choo Choo", "Agi", "Soul Serenade", and "Maxxx". ~ Dusty Groove
A great contemporary tribute to Sun Ra – put together in ways that are a lot more sensitive than other projects of this nature! These young players really seem to get the sense of Ra's Arkestra as an ensemble – and work in ways here that really recall the best energy of the early Saturn recordings – even on a few original numbers by members of the group! We're not familiar with most of the players, but together they work wonderfully – in a lineup that includes Nikolaus Neuser on trumpet, Kathrin Lemke on alto, Dirk Steglich on tenor and flute, Gerhard Gschlossl on trombone,a nd Rui Gincel on piano and "spacekeys". Titles include "Future", "Images", "Ancient Aiethopia", "A Call For Demons", "Do To Voodoo", and "Watusa". ~ Dusty Groove
