Brezzo, Gianni Soundscapes Vol.1 - Music For Harlequins LP Vinyl

Gianni Brezzo, the jazz affiliated band / studio project led by Cologne-based producer maestro Marvin Horsch, has a diverse musical profile that is reflected both in his genre-hopping as well as his creative output. Along with producing for Cologne bands like Keshavara, Woman and Xul Zolar, Gianni has released a number of EP and LP's since 2017, including 2021's "The Awakening" which featured vocal appearances from Berlin/Tel Aviv based singer / producer J. Lamotta and soul singer Otis Junior from Louisville, Kentucky. Gianni's 2022 LP "Tutto Passa," released on Jakarta Records, was 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 and Armando Trovajoli to more recent work by Sven Wunder. This was quickly followed up with EP "Amoria," an extension of the themes grown from "Tutto Passa. " Gianni's latest excursion, "Soundscapes Vol. 1 - Music for Harlequins" is a special kind of release, one that ventures into worlds familiar, yet undeniably foreign and exciting. Gianni journeys through baroque pastures and medieval acoustics to bring forth an aural palette of colorful, timeless arrangements that fit comfortably in the sonic pocket. Featuring lush and nuanced instrumentation, all seamlessly melded together within Gianni's groove-driven framework, the tracks on "Harlequins" present thematic moods that act as sonic windows into an enduring past. Jakarta is ecstatic to share such a project, with limited 300 vinyl initially pressed. Soundscapes Vol. 1 - Music for Harlequins" is a unique project soaked and marinated in a bucolic aesthetic that brings with it a pastoral and nostalgic feeling of simplicity. With sonic moods ranging from David Axelrod and Brian Bennett inspired arrangements to lush progressions with a swingin' percussive edge.
