Over the last decade Nicola "Fez" Conte and Schema introduced a new
model for modern sounds out of Italy. It was mainly connected with
a retro aesthetic restyled for the contemporary. The inclusion of
visual and musical references of 60's and 70's Italian productions
was introduced for the first time nation-wide and therefore
internationally. With a sophisticated almost intellectual approach
the angry young men from Bari gained a world-wide recognition for
their music and concepts. It never was just a one man thing but
mostly a collective output yet the mind behind all that was the one
of Nicola Conte.
He became involved in the international new jazz scene as a DJ
first and as a record producer then. He assembled and designed a
sound for the Paolo Achenza Trio, Quintetto X, Fez Combo, Intensive
Jazz Sextet, and Balanco among others; he gave a name and an
identity to Schema label, possibly the Italian label with the
highest profile out of Italy nowadays. The Fez was the first to put
Bossa Nova back to the public eye in Italy, and putting jazz
elements into club culture was another achievement as well as the
crafty cover arts which created the strong image of bands and DJs.
Sometimes regarded as an elitist set the Fez movement is now
getting into an experimental stage again. The Italian retro sounds
from jazz to soundtracks are reconstructed to a new perspective.
Gianluca Petrella is a young (26) jazz trombone player from Bari
and considered one of the best young Italian musicians.
