"Morning Grooves" by Alessandro Bottura




A New Classic Jazz Fusion CD “Morning Grooves” Featuring The Hit Instrumental Song “MayDay Mayhem"


The multi-talented Italian Bass Player Alessandro Bottura has released his brand new CD entitled “Morning Grooves,” which features his RadioIndy chart-topping single “MayDay Mayhem.” The album contains nine smooth fusion songs of rock, jazz, and pop instrumentals, including another radio favorite “Stern Memories” that has listeners mesmerized when they hear the hard hitting bass playing reminiscent of the Jaco Pastorius masterpieces of early 70's.


The musical artist from Modena proposes a new hot and sophisticated work. Maybe just too much for the barbaric and rough tastes of Supporto Italiano, but in a way, advisable for those whom have the luck of possessing a delicate and attentive ear. Alessandro Bottura is an awesome bass player, just as many others on the earth after all. But only a few of them has the strength to challenge the marketplace alone.

Alessandro studies at PercentoMusica in Roma with the Masters Massimo Moriconi, Pierpaolo Ranieri, Mario Guarini, Luca Pirozzi, Alessandro Patti (electric bass), Massimo Fedeli (playing ensembles and improvisation), Aldo Fedele, Franco Ventura (playing ensembles), Andrea Avena, Stefano Scatozza (music theory), Fabrizio Aiello (rythmical awareness), and continues the studies also at the “Accademia di Musica” in Modena, following the improvement class instructed by M° Giuseppe La Monica.

The new album is the synthesis of the bassist’s enterprising research and is released under the supervision of Maftrust Inter Vivos of Las Vegas, NV. A curriculum rich and full-bodied is displayed from the composition exposed on this “Morning Grooves” CD. Alessandro Bottura, between straight funk and fusion virtuosity, gives wonderful hyper-technical attacks attended by research along with bright and expressive solutions. It won’t be the album of the century, but our brave bass player knows his stuff and this will certainly cause more talk about him in future.
Vote: 8,5/10″
