Airy jazz to dream away with from the Lorenzo De Finti Quartet, their third release on Losen Records, beautiful, lyrical and swinging European jazz at its best.

'Mysteriam Lume' (mystery of the moon) has several moods to offer, but the immediate listening highlight and emotional heart of the album is the slow, spacious, beautiful third track, "Whispers From The End Of The World." All that is needed is to listen, to surrender to its peaceful beauty. Here, distance leads to enchantment. We are hearing magical sounds from as far away as we can imagine.

Since the last album, the quartet has acquired a new member, trumpeter/flugelhornist, Alberto Mandarini. Described as "a 360-degree musician", his experience ranges from classical symphony orchestras to playing with the eighteen piece experimental big band Orchestra Instabile, and a decade on the road with singer/songwriter, Paolo Conte. That depth of experience shines through here. Mandarini is definitely not a superficial player. If his contribution sounds overwhelmingly natural, he sees it as the end-result of a lengthy process of getting to know the music
