• Just a year after releasing the internationally successful “Rituals“ album, Italian DJ, producer & guitarist Nicola Conte returns with a double-CD compiling the re-worked ‘remixes’ he has collaborated on with a wide spectrum of contemporary jazz artists - “The Modern Sound Of Nicola Conte“ takes listeners on a journey into the most tasteful sounds you can get when it comes to Bossa flavoured jazz, Latin fusions and soulful grooves.

• Artists featured include : Amercian legend Mark Murphy, German jazz superstar Till Brönner, Helsinki’s hipsters, The Five Corner Quintet, Norwegians The Bobby Hughes Combination and American group Thunderball from Thievery Corporation’s ESL Records

• There are also percussionists Roberto Roena and Luisito Quintero representing two generations of Latin rhythms; Japanese artists Akiko, Maki Mannami and the Sunaga T Experience; a host of fabulous sessions musicians including : Flavio Boltro, Pietro Ciancaglini, Fabrizio Bosso, Daniele Scannapieco, Lorenzo Tucci, and Finns Teppo Mäkynen and Timo Lassy - and vocalists including : Lisa Bassenge, Maki Mannami, Kim Sanders, & José James.

• To complement the masterful takes on other musicians’ recordings, 8 of the 26 tracks on this impressive collection are Nicola’s own, never before released music from the last couple of years, stemming from the sessions for his sought after albums “Other Directions“ and “Rituals“.
