These cats can jam! Is OPRACHINA one of the top jazz acts in Italy?

There's a lot of variety on this album... from gentle folkish acoustic guitar, to real hard-blowing straight ahead jazz. Nice compositions mixed with free improvisation. And the playing is phenomenal! If you like jazz, you won't want to pass this up.

And hey, Massimo. Do you have some extra fingers or something? I got this visual while listening to your solo on Fat-Fast and all I could see was a blur!

Quels magnifiques morceaux si bien interprétés ! De la mélancolie, de la douceur, voilà un album qui nous laisse une saveur de miel. C'est un enchantement pour les oreilles, une merveille de sons plus mélodieux les uns que les autres.

This is undoubtedly perfectly carried out and highly skillful performance but still there's something that missing. I'm not sure what it is, maybe distinctiveness.

"The Jazz Farm" to me is an album of contemporary jazz in the bebop tradition with a lot of 70ies influences, and it's interesting that it reminds me mostly of those jazz guitarists in the vein of Ralph Towner (and his Oregon outfit), Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell.

Beautiful playing, nice compositions, indeed the major point of critizism is the sub-par miking of the saxophones, which stands out especially disturbing on the sax/guitar duet tunes like Porta D'Arce, Attimi and Le Fiabe da Brno.

I'm somewhat curious - is the band leader the guitarist or the sax player?

Because I don't know the system of jamendo, I have to write my question here: The noted licence on Jamendo is
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
the licence in the notepad in the bittorent folder is
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/it/
so what is the correct licence?

What more can I say? Oh - thank you for sharing your wonderful creation.

An album that leaves you breathless from fist listen. Much writing and much improvisation. The result is an album, certainly not easy, but, immediate and rich from all points of listening.
Excellent

Perfectly executed.

There are so many emotions and mindsets portrayed on this album. love, happiness, excitement, mystery, peace, perhaps even grief or sadness.

I think “Fat-fast” and “The Moon In August” are great.
Some tracks remind me of UFO (United Future Organisation ), so if you liked them I think you will like this.

What a fantastic, outstanding album this is, to check out and really enjoy, those fragrant, cool, ambient, sounding, awesome Jazzy, fusion, alternative music filled with acoustic guitar, saxophone, instrumentals and so much more, for you, to see, and hear in your minds eye.

Is my first time I listen italian jazz and I have been impressed. I like the sound, because is between hardbop and fusion, with a touch of free jazz.

My favorite track is number two "fat-fast": principal theme very clean and virtuoso improvisations. I think this song sound like some compositions of guitarist Mike Stern.

I don't like very much the cover, because when I listen most songs (except number one), I feel that I'm in city and no in a farm...but this is only a detail. The music is the most important, and for this my rating is 10.

Regards!
