Dance Music for Beatniks

"First, a few words of explanation. Please note that "Bossa Per Due" and "Jet Sounds" are essentially the same album. "Bossa" is the American release, "Jet Sounds" the European. Secondly, you are probably here because you heard one of these tracks on a TV commercial. "Bossa Per Due" (the song) was used in an Acura commercial about a year ago, and "Jet Sounds" (the song) is currently used in the Joe Boxer commercial where the African-American fellow is dancing in his underwear.As for the music itself, Conte fits into an obscure but trendy genre that combines 60s lounge and bossa nova music with modern dance/techno elements. The result is a weird (but often enjoyable) hybrid of retro and ultra-contemporary. Whether you like it or not, you've probably never heard anything quite like it."
For the Bossa in you

"This album runs smooth with the bossa sounds from nicola conte his american release from esl records, a sure sign of a good record is that label for sure. For those unfamilliar, this album is bossa instrumental, making nice atmosphere music for the dinner party, A caution, for jazz lovers or bossa lovers. Do not expect heavy chilled out dub but instead a lively beat and more for Bebel Gilberto fans than Tosca fans. A good sound enjoyed by the casual listener, but bossa/jazz fans will love it. 3.5 stars. 4 stars for genre lovers."

"I reckon this is the American version of the disc. His album in Europe is called "Jet Sounds", but Bossa Per Deu is probably the song most noticed in the United States, thanks to that wretched Acura commercial which doesn't do the song or Nicola Conte's music justice. It is a great, high spirited martini madness kind of CD. I think the style Conte uses is "Bossa Italia", heh heh. Definitely a Brazilian influence in the music, but with a 60's, Italian feel to it. Very interesting and very enjoying CD. For the record, if you like or have heard one Easy Tempo, released by the ESL label, that is what this is similar too, only a bit more modern. Nice beach music. I like the tracks 2, 4, 6, 9 and a few others that are noteworthy. Get it, add to your international collection and enjoy for years!"
