One For The Weekend: Nicola Conte feat. Gregory Porter

Nicola Conte's "Love & Revolution" album is getting a long overdue vinyl release. Check out "Ghana" with Gregory Porter. 

Here's the scoop...

“Do You Feel Like I Feel” and “Ghana” are two tracks which originally appeared on Nicola Conte's “Love & Revolution” album released on Impulse! back in 2011. While producing that record, Nicola Conte was joined by an impressive cadre of guests, both Italian and international, a rich collective invited by the artist to enter the studio of his long-time friend Tommy Cavalieri and participate in the creation of a diverse and modern jazz album. However, “Love & Revolution” has never been released on vinyl – until now. Soon a brand new 2-LP version will see the light of day on Schema Records, preceded by 45rpm single featuring two of the most significant tracks and the main ingredients of the entire work: the soul of “Do You Feel Like I Feel” and the Latin-jazz of “Ghana”. 

Both tracks are further embellished by Magnus Lindgren’s arrangements and, in particular, by the voice of Gregory Porter, here still at the beginning of his career, recognized by Nicola Conte as a rising star of the contemporary vocal jazz scene.

Have a listen to "Ghana" below along with Nicola and crew's stellar live performance of the Bubba Thomas classic "All Praises To Allah" originally by the Lightmen Plus One.
