Description
Nicola Conte is an Italian DJ, producer, guitarist, and bandleader, known initially for introducing an innovative style of acid jazz that incorporates bossa nova themes, melodies drawn from Italian film scores of the 1960s, easy listening themes, and traditional Indian music. Recently, he has focused much more on Latin jazz. Conte, a classically trained musician, is an innovative jazz revivalist and part of what was termed "The Fez Collective", based in the Apulian city of Bari, and the Idizioni-Ishtar/Schema Records, a record label known for promoting a distinctly Italian approach to acid jazz as well as jazz music as a whole. Conte's first album was Jet Sounds (2000). The single "Bossa Per Due" gained international recognition and was an underground hit. Conte has also produced albums by other artists including Paolo Achenza Trio, Rosalia De Souza, Stefania Di Pierro, and Marvin Parks.
