Editorial Reviews

In this reimagined version of his 2000 import release, Jet Sounds (released in America as Bossa Per Due), Italian producer-jazzman Nicola Conte has found some impressive help in remixing his lounge-flavored electronica. Taking time out from sipping their cocktails are Thievery Corporation, Koop, and the Finnish collective Nuspirit Helsinki, who perform a deeply sensual, eight-minute version of the title track. Also making notable appearances are Japan's Kyoto Jazz Massive, who kick the beat up more than a notch on their ambient-tinged version of "The In Samba." Elsewhere, Conte himself contributes three new tracks, including the Latin-flavored tinkle jazz of "Love Me 'till Sunday," as well as the sly, soundtracklike "Tema in Hi-Fi." Using its fine cast of musicians and producers to full effect, Revisited explores the more acoustic, less beat-driven underbelly of Conte's songs, finding an elegant, carefree sound for a new generation of hepcats. --Matthew Cooke

Ms Nicola Conte, I presume?.......2006-10-02

When I first heard of Nicola Conte, I assumed that (s)he was a woman, an assumption not corrected by the fact that when I entered the room where she was supposed to be playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival the stage was dominated by a tall lady wearing a very frilly dress, singing gustily. It was only when I mentioned to a friend that Nicola had a remarkable dress that she pointed out that Nicola was the chap hiding behind the drummer. Nicola must be a very modest or shy bloke, a supposition supported by the fact that he is hiding behind dark glasses on the cover of this CD. On the other hand, Nicola is Italian.

It might have been thought hard to better Mr. Conte's Bossa per Due, but here the ante is upped and the results are some extraordinary remixes. Check out particularly great takes on Tema In Hi-Fi by Nicola himself along with Gianluca Petrella; Jet Sounds by Nuspirit Helsinki; and an extraordinary new version of the In Samba by Kyoto Jazz Massive.

Warmly recommended. And, sorry Nicola, but if your parents will give you a girl's name

very good cd to listen to while computing.......2006-01-30

for me this is one of the best musicians that I have heard for listening to while computing and working on school projects. It has an old type 60's 1970 movie feel like the movie Bullitt. This cd is definatley worth trying as well as his other cds. Yery good artist, I reccommend this one especially.

another classic from my home town.......2004-08-16

I surprised myself the other day. I realized that all of my favorite CDs were produced by the Eighteenth Street Lounge in DC. Including this one. This album is a must for anybody who appreciates 60's style revival. The picture that comes to my mind while listening to the tracks held within this compilation, is a hopelessly trendy mod driving his white Jaguar down the pacific coast highway at midnight. Perhaps I watch too much TV. Never the less, if you like classy, brassy bossa or trip hop.. or if you want to feel like a secret angent, then I highly reccomend you purchase this album.

Play it again Nic........2003-07-10

For those who enjoy jazz with a modern touch, lounge like ambiance and edgy feel, this album is a great add to your collection or a great start for newcomers. If you like the works of Frenchman St Germain, this is a pretty close comparison. Some tunes (like the tremendously swinging Fuoco Fatuo) will reassure you that jazz is not a brainy world but essence of music: wonderful rhythm, impro tunes, sexy voices, and crazy bass lines, all for the pleasure of feeling alive. It certainly has an European touch in its sophistication but an exciting Latino feel is also present (In Samba, Mambo de los Dandies). It's, let's say, a upbeat latino/lounge version of accessible jazz. Not hard on you ear -au contraire- it has a pleasant variety of sounds and instrumentation on each track: Arabesque is accompanied by a loungy almost fatigued and trendy style of voice, Forma 2000 has a piano/drum loop which serves as a baseline, Mission in Bombay does have that Indian influence in its playful flute tones, New Standards has a powerful trumpet chorus with swinging rhythms. It's a great balance of classic and modern trends. It's tonic but not too fashionable to sound old too soon. And it applies the basic rules of swing but doesn't smell like refried music. Play it again Nic...

revisting bossa per due was a grrrrreeaat idea!.......2003-02-14

i know its a corny way to put it but it's true. the first track arabesque is a vocal version this tie performed by micatone. It's got a different beat, a piano, some cool breaks and you recognize it from the vibraphone section. it's got a really good jazz guitar by lisa bassenge and cool drums by kroker. the next song, forma 2001 by les gammas is really good as well. it has jazzy drumming at first but then it sortof gets into a trip hop beat witha good horn section. It does have some flue and i think flutes sound great. then tema in hi fi is by nicola conte and g. petrella. It's got a sortof mystic flute and the bass is awesome. Everything about this one is great. The next song is by nuspirit helsinki who's album i recently picked up. This song has a beat timed in 3/8 so it might sound a bit off at first but it's really good. Bosa per due is by thievery corporation who i highly reccomend (mirror conspiracy and richest man in babylon are 2 to check). It's really cool brush drumming and a thievery corp feel to it. then is fuoco fatuo by koop. I also highly reccomend them. This version has vocals and is more energetic with a piano and horn. the vocals are provided by the great earl zinger. New standards is by Nicola conte and G. Petrella again. I like this one alot. it's got good hand drums and piano. About a minute in it incoroprates a dance beat thats real good. Next is the in samba by kyoto jazz massive. this is my least favorite on the track only because i don't like the synthesizer in the background. Love me 'till sunday by nicola conte is a very good one. It starts off with a catchy piano and vibraphone and the great percussion the. missione a bombay by eddy and dus vs jazzalektro mix is one of my favorites. Like the original, it doesn't follow the same chill out jazzy rhythm but it's a got a really good beat and the drums and bongos match up well. The flute instead of sitar and trumpet sounds really cool. Next is dossier omega by espen horne. It's a really good track. It sounds latin and is overall just a good song with the percussion of sorts and horns. last but not least is mambo de los dandies performed by geraldo Frisina. The sax is cool and the bass sounds really good. all the drumming and percussion is great as well. I highly reccomend this cd to everyone. This is just as good as bossa per due and it defintely deserves a 5 star rating.

Album Details

After Two Years We have "Jet Sounds Revisited", and the Circle is Complete! "Revisited" Manifests the Different Influences from Jazz of the 60's and 70's as Shown by the Different Producers and Musicians Involved. It Has a More Evident Use of Electronics that Widens the Picture Beyond Bossa and Reaches Club Rhythms: Nu-house, Broken Beats, Nu-jazz etc. One Should Definitely Take Note of the Common Approach Used by the Various Production Teams When Taking on the Work. They have Given Us Versions which Maintain the Original Mood of the Tracks Even in the Diversity of the Various Arrangements. You'll Get a Picture How a Remix Album Could Sounds as a Truly New Artist Output from the Sparse Jazz Dub Shades of the Thievery Corporation's Remake of "Bossa Per Due" to the Exquisite Vocal Performance on the Swinging "Arabesque" Version of Micatone Or the Future Samba Version of "The in Samba" by Kyoto Jazz Massive.
