CNI explores, for the first time, with its new "The Dream" release the jazz world and that of fusion influenced by jazz itself .

Both graphic and packaging, enriched by a snapshot made by the Roman photographer Massimo Buzi, are made ""ad hoc" and indicate henceforth a productive standard ready to become – in prospect- a real hot and stylish format.
A first class album whose originality is on one side due to the atypic trio :

Nico Di Battista (guitar, bass & keyboards) who cooperated with James Senese, Tullio de Piscopo, Nino Buonocore and Lina Wertmuller until he recently met Solomon Burke;

Gianluca Fuiano (drums and percussions) well-known session man who played with Kin Koba, Los Gitanos, Mediterranti and Solomom Burke;

Rrok Jakaj, (violin) founder of the Optional String Quartet, he is member of several symphonic and philarmonic orchestras, as well as the artistic director of Solomon Burke group

and on the other side:

to the introduction and utilization of interesting innovations and technical characteristics (Di Battista plays the DB guitar which is a sole instrument in the world created by him and which allows to reproduce contemporaneously guitar melodies and bass lines).

Dulcis in fundo : the music – highly refined and catching on the same time, rich of instrumental impros but with no presumption to a "virtuoso" effect; the Mediterranean warmth of the melodia make possible that all references and homages of which the production is rich with – from the "Piazzolla" tango to flamenco – from Al di Meola to Paco de Lucia, from Bireli Lagrčne to Stephane Grappelli and so on – in no way diminish the potential of "THE DREAM" , continuum sonoro, which reveals itself as an album of great re-elaboration and consciuos of the best results of the musical "latin" tradition.

All tracks are oustanding such as, for example, "Sahara","Blue Night" and "Sortie", which are rich of intense and soft athmospheres or those compelling and powerful ones such as "Tango for Piazzolla", "Angras dos Reis, and "Dedalo".

Among a multitude of musical genres Nico di Battista has with no doubt his own style made of real "good music" !
