Calibro 35 – Exploration (LP/CD) [Record Kicks RKX103]

 

Italian cinematic funk legends Calibro 35 continue their journey into the world of cinematic jazz-funk with their new album “Exploration.”

“Exploration” marks their return to independent label Record Kicks after their last studio album “Nouvelle Aventures” released on Universal Music in 2023. The band picks up from their latest EP, “Jazzploitation,” released on Record Kicks last October. “Exploration” is a deep dive into the universe of cinematic jazz-funk, showcasing both the band’s reinterpretations of timeless classics such as Roy Ayers’ “Coffy” or Bob James “Nautilus” and original compositions by the band such us the lead single “Reptile Strut”, the jazz-funk stormer “The Twang” and the soulful cinematic number “Pied De Poule”.

An exploration and a new journey for the Milanese combo that along its way, pays homage to artists such as Lalo Schifrin (Mission Impossible), Italian Maestro Piero Umiliani (Discomania and Gassman Blues) and Herbie Hancock (Chamelon). Described by Rolling Stone as “the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years,” Milan-based Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest independent bands around.

Active since 2007, during their long career, they have been sampled by Dr. Dre on Compton (“One Shot One Kill” feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay-Z (“Picasso Baby”), The Child of Lov & Damon Albarn (“One Day”), and Demigodz (“The Summer Of Sam”). They have played major venues and festivals all over Europe, and as unique musicians, they have collaborated with, among others, PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Stewart Copeland, and Rokia Traoré.
