Filtering and mixing Jazz, Rock, Hip Hop and New Age on one album requires some serious creative powers and, last but not least, good taste.The proof is this wonderful new album "Alfabeats Nu Jazz Stones", a synthesis of new and old genres, captured in a fresh, visionary orchestration that builds bridges between themes, integrates voice and instruments in a free architecture of sounds and melodies.Very interesting how the Hip Hop singer, turns into a kind of lyrical storyteller whose poetry mixes with music and rhythms in a such delicate balance of energies. There are many surprises on this album, just to mention "Reaching the Holy land" a superb mediterranean new age ballad with mystical highlights. At organ and piano, an ubiquitous Roberto Magris is at the command of the ensemble, driving, leading, improvising, highlighting in a permanent dialogue with his talented band mates.
