Sunlightsquare Records Ltd. is formed. With the initial purpose of managing and coordinating the numerous activities around the project, the company will focus on the worldwide release of the album. However, we are planning on taking onboard other artists in the near future. Our goal is to let everyone enjoy the music that's happening now in the underground scene in east London - where amazing musicians are taking inspiration from electronica, dance, bebop and avant-garde - changing the face of what we still call jazz.

Composer/keyboardist Claudio Passavanti has created a rhythmically diverse collection of modern dance club tracks he labels “urban dancefloor jazz.” Passavanti’s creative dissection of well recorded, amazingly performed acoustic drum tracks from the master of groove, STEVE GADD, shapes a deep pocket around a fresh compositional variety of jazz, Latin, drum ’n’ bass, and funk. Gadd plays with the same spirited fire that his legendary reputation was built upon. Witness the future of synthetic rhythm being built upon by the best acoustic qualities of the past.

RATING: 9/10
