boy boy...just been listening over at ttl and tunes.co.uk to new released stuff that i missed in the past two weeks, and i stumble over two new releases from the italian king of latin... i like his old stuff, have the 2 lps and a newer 12", but the reworks he and his quintet do of old jazz tracks, boy boy boy... take a listen

Dude is grumpy.
Sorry but I can't join you here. I'm not into his stuff at all. All of his stuff that I checked sounded like an acid jazz update to me and I'm the biggest acid jazz hater out here.
brought some nice acid jazz 12" back from diggin nijmegen.
records are (as we venture deeper into eurostrut) quite cheap in the NL, lotsa eurobinheat to be found.
nicola conte is the shit. fucking genius, anyone denying this fact is a HATER!! or someone who doesn't care about quality brasilian music. compare nicola's compositions to any of the other NU bossa competitors, he is soooo ahead of the game. haven't gotten down with the blue note release, but i tracked through it one afternoon and i liked the vibe for sure.
the dudes from jazzanova have the nerve to talk shit about nicola conte.... more hateration. most of this nujazz scene music is made for people to buy mall clothes to, but nicola's sound is that of jazz music and not trendy mall clothes music.
check his version of "mastered the art" by greyboy. also is newer "bossa ahead remix" 12". this stuff sets clubs on fire gentleman.

i always loved this track for some reason. b-side of the jet sounds single, dont think it was on the album?
