Soulstance is the famous monicker chosen by Lo Greco Bros, Enzo and
Gianni, a duo capable to express latin and atmospheric jazz with an
impeccable touch and a full mastery of instruments. With this new third
album, “LifeSize”, they develop their familiar sound, a traveling guide
through Brazilian music, the crazy world of soundtracks,
nu-jazz-beats-bossa and Italian easy listening. Without a doubt we can
say Soulstance did a nice job on making a new album that continuos the
stylish relaxing grooves of “Act On” adding some new perspectives due to
some smooth drum’n’bass and housy influences. Those new elements and
wider directions, togheter with typical Soulstance sounds like flute and
sax build a solid rhythmic groove, straight and fluid. But there is a
side of Soulstance exploring more into latin sounds as well here. Take
"Caribe' samba", "Zenith" or "Honesty" that nicely blends the Soulstance
sound with Brazilian flavoured samba touches. Finally, some of the
tracks, “Lift Up”, “Soul Ensemble” and “Nucleus” feature that fine
combination of Acid/Bossa Jazz with lounge gestures plus those smooth
touches of d’n’b and house. In a few words a superb album of
uncompromising fine jazz-grooves!
