Jaco Pastorius would be proud to hear the bass chops of jazz artist Alessandro Bottura. His latest record, “Morning Grooves” is a smooth fusion of rock, jazz, and pop instrumentals all rolled into one amazing sound. Bottura’s bass playing speaks for itself and is immediately evident right from the opening track, “Out of Sight.” His jazz fueled bass runs fly up and down the neck and are nicely driven by some outstanding guitar/drum work. Bottura changes gears a bit and slow things down on “Sweet Tears,” which also highlights his staccato playing skills. Any fan of Jaco Pastorius or of virtuoso bass playing will love this album, plus the band behind Bottura is just as exceptional as he.

[...] Weather Report formed in 1971 and represented a step forward in Jazz Music. By combining R&B, Rock and World Music they created their own truly unique Fusion sound, a sound that is still fresh and inspiring more than 30 years later. And of course they have been widely sampled by hip hop producers also. [...]

sì Marty tutt’apposto grazie,
qui a Mosca fa un caldo assurdo, ieri notte c’erano 17 gradi, abbiamo dormito con la finestra aperta!
una domanda: sei riuscito a beccare altri concerti dei WR?
mio padre ci ha preso gusto… e quei 5 concerti di cui si parlava sopra gli hanno fatto venire l’acquolina in bocca!
nel caso mandami una mail.
grazie mille,
a presto
johnny
