Gianni's new LP, "Tutto Passa" is a meditation around Marvin's relationship to Italian culture, accompanied by research into Italian composers of the 60's / 70's such as Piero Umiliani, Stelvio Cipriani, Piero Piccioni and Armando Trovajoli to more recent work by Sven Wunder. Sonically rich, the album rides a sonic wave similar to some Matthew Halsall, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair and BadBadNotGood all rolled into one beautifully luscious work. Focus track is the effortlessly smooth, soulful jazz-funk piece, "Torino." Certified fresh, the progression gives you that euphoric, elated feeling, like you're finally arrived at that special place you never knew existed, but were always meant to find. "Tutto Passa" is a project with a variety of moods ranging from Arthur Verocai and David Axelrod inspired arrangements to lush, thematic jazz progressions with a swingin' percussive edge. It's a timeless release, one that would sit just as well in 1972 as it does in 2022.
