This record, produced with an admired respect for the classic jazz tradition yet innovative at the same time, originally licensed to the legendary Blue Note in 2004, is now reissued in a new luxury edition. Always in balance between Jazz and Bossa Nova, “Other Directions” reveals a Nicola Conte’s compositive soul bounded to accomplished acoustic atmospheres. Furthermore the composer's intention is to communicate not only through the music but through the lyrics too, showing a talented and learned songwriter.
