######### CONTRAST CLAUSE #########
dimer tom_phillips already seeded his 320kbps AAC capture from an english broadcast as dimetorrent #407994 - this torrent is instead my analog FM capture from an ITALIAN broadcast; this is then the BBC edited version that the BBC itself distributed among european radios, but this is only an excerpt of the full set. Further more, another track [Say Yes] was previously SEPARATELY aired by the BBC (and not distributed), track that I have here included as a bonus [marked as track 05b] from previous tom_phillips' offer. Indeed, except for a different trackmarking and titling, here we should have exactly the same music as previos torrent (even if, apparently, the english version has some occasional radio banter inbetween some tracks, here absent). Also included in the folder as track 00 a radio introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 3'29", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.
######### CONTRAST CLAUSE #########
this is a quartet that "experiment" with tracks of various origins, from Bowie to Hancock, and from Nirvana to neosoul heroes like Common and J Dilla (track 08 is basically the lyrics from the refrain of "the light" played over "look of love"). These tracks are reworked in a nufusion manner by the VOCODER and a groovy bass, resulting in some sort of eighties Hancock' festival... I believe the most of it is actually very good, but it's nowhere jazz

(00-radio introduction by Pino Saulo) 3.29
01. A Love Supreme, incl. Acknowledgment (John Coltrane) 9.46
02. a Tear to a Smile (Roy Ayers) 13.31
03. bands intros by Glasper 1.29
04. bass solo by Derrick Hodge 5.33

[05b. Say Yes (Floetry) 6.46]
06. Letter to Hermione (David Bowie) 7.26
07. Geto Heaven (Common/Macy Gray) 3.52
08. Look of Love, incl. The Light (J Dilla/Common) 4.28
09. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) 6.59

running time : 66'40" (without italian radio intro and bonustrack)
WITH radio intro and bonus track, the full offer, it would be 76'55"

un pieno quartetto, "experiment" in quanto si prendono brani di varia provenienza (si va da David Bowie a Coltrane, da Roy Ayers ai Nirvana di Smells Like Teen Spirit, passando per Common e J Dilla, Floerty e Macy Gray) e li si stravolge tramite il VOCODER di Casey Benjamin (originariamnete un sassofonista, e flute), che � il vero primattore di questo show. Il risultato � molto simile a quanto Herbie Hancock, di cui non casualmente propone Butterfly, faceva agli inizi degli anni ottanta, tra Rockit e Dis Is Da Drum, rimanendo a cavallo tra soul e hiphop, e nuova fusion col bassista elettrico Derrick Hodge. Qui ci sono canzoni, da classifica americana. A volte il risultato � stucchevole, sembra forse una presa per il culo, ma in generale � musica nera che, a mente aperta, potrebbe venire apprezzata da pi� parti, perch� comunque tutto scorre perfettamente, ci sono grooves e ritmi funky: � bello - ma non � jazz. Nel concerto, e qui abbiamo solo la met� di esso, sono apparsi vari ospiti, tra cui il neosoul vocalist Bilal che canta in un paio di pezzi

note that due to disk space limitations, I will not be able to keep seeding this torrent for a long time - I will abandon the seed in a few days, maybe remove from HD these wav/flac files, and keep only my own CDR. Too many things to upload. In case of seeders going missing, enlist yourself as a leecher and some seeder will come back, and you are anyhow welcome to try and ask for additional torrenting...
checksum file included - if uploaded on other trackers or reseed (and you are welcome to do both), please include original infofile and also do not change FOLDER name. Also, if not satisfied with my offering, you are welcome to remaster/retrack/whatever and repost, but please always clearly state where/who did you have this material from and keep original infofile. IF YOU ARE THEN OFFERING THIS SET ON YOUR BLOG AS mp3's, PLEASE SPECIFY WHERE TO ALSO GET THE ORIGINAL LOSSLESS FILES
