“Sometimes music changes its meaning depending on where it is listened to. This is clear when we consider how this Brazilian jazz-funk song managed to cross the ocean and hit the charts in England in 1980 while it became very popular in Italy for being used as the theme song for Rai 2’s Tv program “Mixer”. It’s a song with a memorable theme and a groove that leaves no room to breathe, one of those songs where, before playing it, you tell yourself: ‘see you at the end!’” explain Calibro 35.
“Jazz Carnival” comes with a video directed by Giacomo Citro showing Calibro 35 recording the track at Sound Workshop, Piero Umiliani’s historic recording studio in Rome. The video also reveals the spirit behind the creation of the new album, which could be summarized in three key points: thirst for exploration, fun and Calibro’s musicianship.
