Milan Latin Jazz Quartet – Sentimento Latino
Milano Jazz Dance Combo – Milano Jazz Dance Ensemble

Clear bright blue skies in Istanbul today and what better way to celebrate then play some jolly nujazz, we’ll have time to play gloomy stuff in the impending winter season. Today’s menu is comprised entirely of Milano produce.

First up, the Milano Jazz Dance Combo offers a contemporary dance & club vibe in the now classical Italian tone of Nicola Conte or Mario Biondo. That’s not surprising as the brothers behind the project Gianni and Enzo Lo Greco have already released 5 albums on Schema Records and worked with everyone from Gerardo Frisina to Rosalia de Souza, Conte and Biondi. Vocal talents include Colonel Red from Bugz in the Attic, and Dionne Charles of Baby Charles fame. Numerous solos & instrumentation on a top notch rhythm section just what you expect from an Italian combi. Should be the next jazz club dance night sensation so club owners should take notice, ’cause they sure know how to rock a party.

Their similarly named counterpart Milan Latin Jazz Quartet, composed of trumpetist Raffaele Kohler, guitarist Alessandro Sicardi, bassist Lino Grasso, percussionist Davide Marzagalli, is more of a traditional latin jazz quartet that brings more of the Italian flavour to the almost monolithic genre. Smooth, velvety continental jazz quartet.
