Music reviews of Ad Lib

Music Review: What Took me So Long?
Rating: 5 Stars

Finding it for starters. But to review the music - this is a terrific release. A vinyl junkee and obviously a music fan, Frisina's Ad Lib is a cd that takes you through Italian jazz styles and bossa beats. It starts out with the familiar vocal version of "mas eu quer ser" as herad on Break & Bossa vol 5. Afterwards the songs are a mixture of tropical sounds, bossa beats, a few breaks here and there and musical solos throug-out.

There are a few similarities between this and Jet Sounds by Nicola Conte - but not much. I think this CD definitely has more of a jazzy feel - as in slow mixing with the gentle saxaphone and accompaniment in the background. However true to schema and the bossa form, you do get a sense of the sixties and seventies lounge with a modern twinge to it (brascubas).

I highly recommend this CD. It's fantastic. And if you're a Bossa Brava fan, you definitely will love track 11: Fiera. ON the new Bossa Brava, Conte remixed Mo Horizon's Foto Viva and the majority of the sample was from the guitar background on this track - but mind you, the original is much much better IMO. Also - if you ar a Soulstance fan, you should know that they contributed heavily in this recording (Lo Greco bros). Can't wait for their new CD to come out!

Enjoy!
