After months locked in the studio is finally here, The new Big Bang Album ‘Way In Jazz’.
This new project, sees the collaboration of artists such as Rasiyah (Bugz In The Attic – Marc De Clive Lowe), Xan Blacq, Roger Beaujolais, Jessica Lauren, Neil Angilley & Davide Giovannini (Snowboy – Vertente -Jazztronik ), the excellent Nathan Haines on sax and flute, and an incredible Horns Section featuring Ingrid Laubrock.
This album represents a new beginning for Big Bang, with his jazz and Brazilian roots really emerging in each track, especially in tracks like Summer Fields and Batucada Mondiale (with a great performance of the Samba King Barak Schmool!).
Early last year the single Big Bang ‘Smile In Your Eyes’ was heavily championed by Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Bugz In The Attic, while new extracts from the forthcoming album were included a limited edition 12” with a spectacular 4Hero Remix, that created a buzz both in the underground and in the mainstream market. (It was for weeks on the front page of Itunes.)
Remixes from Nicola Conte, Daz I Que (4 Bugz In The Attic), Yam Who & Cuica are also in the pipeline scheduled for late 2006, for a special project CD.
Big Bang is also starting a new residency in London while is ready embark onto a World tour that will take him, between Feb and June in US, Japan, Europe, South Africa.
Not forgetting his monthly residency at Boca Barranca (Marina Romea – Italy) next summer, with guests in the past like Seiji, Orin (Bugz In The Attic), Reel People Live, Marc De Clive Lowe Feat. BembeSegue Live, Patrick Forge, Domu, Gerardo Frisina.
