Nova 11.1

The band, with a stronger jazz-rock influence than their previous groups, released their first album, Blink, in 1976, aided by such big names as Pete Townshend and with help from lyricist Nick J.Sedwick (who also wrote the lyrics for Uno). An usual Osanna feeling is still in the air, but the style is changing to a more commercial kind of music. Only two of the six tracks are instrumental, the singer role been taken by Corrado Rustici, and the album has some good moments.

Album released in 1990 in Brazil, where is originated the Brazilian Tropical Orchestra (Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), which integrates some of the best musicians in the country. This ensemble has released remarkable recordings not only dedicated to Brazilian authors or colleagues as Antonio Carlos Jobim, but also the great American composers like George Gerswin or Cole Porter, and other international writers like Burt Bacharach or this CD to The Beatles.

Recording directed by Enoch Light, tireless musician and producer in recording sound more vibrant, inventive and imaginative in the 60s, inexhaustible in achieving the highest levels of sound quality and musically expressive in those years. Rhythm now serving Brazilian music, samba and that was then emerging style 'bossa nova'.

This CD is actually a combination of two different T. Lavitz projects. The Bad Habitz and also Players. The original Players band consisted of some fusion heavyweights whose credintials would blow you away. This CD is partly the reformed unit of that band and partly the Bad Habitz band. Both units play great. The players unit on this disc includes Dave Samuels, Rod Morgenstein, and Danny Gottlieb.

The fate of the music underground tunnel where radio monopolies were confined these threatening cultural revolutions. Nova catching mix of cult songs like White Rabbit, the acid trip of fifteen years before Jefferson Airplane and Devotion by John McLaughlin, one of the pioneers of jazz-rock fusion. 1981 and the lyrical and modernist breakthroughs of the new wave, Tuxedomoon. And his French electronics Heldon, with already big his New York Material, the group of Bill Laswell, a fellow traveler.
