Celebrated Italian jazz dance DJ who’ll be mixing in a few choice modal swingers from his forthcoming Blue Note disc as part of Movement Friday (April 2) at Roxy Blu

The 3 Out Move
“One of my recent finds. It’s a top early-60s Australian jazz piano trio session involving Mike Nock, Freddie Logan and Chris Karan. It’s got a deep version of Randy Weston’s Little Niles and a great Afro-modal tune called Primitive.”

Bent Axen/Bent Jaedig Let’s Keep The Message
“Lately I’ve been getting into a lot of Danish jazz, and this rare Debut label recording from 61 has one of the most outstanding jazz dance tunes ever, To Iskol Hof. It’s essential listening for true jazz hipsters.”

Brazil 40 Graus Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
“I can’t get enough of this 1970 set from this jazz samba group which features a young Irio De Paula. The tune Copa 70 sounds like it could’ve been recorded yesterday. Modern samba jazz at its very best!”
