CAMERA SOUL is a powerful jazz-funk ensemble, produced by Mr. Marco Rossi of Azzurra Music (Verona) and released and marketed in the Americas by Kathryn Ballard Shut of TIMKAT Entertainment (Denver, Colorado). Inspired by legendary horn line, soul, R&B, and jazz-fusion artists such as Earth, Wind and Fire, The Commodores, Tower of Power, and Stevie Wonder, as well as neo-soul grooves by Incognito, Erykah Badu, and Jamiroquai, the group is based out of southern Italy (Bari), and led by veteran composer-arranger brothers Piero and Pippo Lombardo.
Backwards and Forwards: The WEA Recordings 1984-1995 is a forthcoming nine-CD box set that collects the music of Aztec Camera via five studio albums, B-sides, live recordings, remixes and rarities.
Flow is the mesmerising new digital only album from Cardiff based trio, Slowly Rolling Camera, augmented with sublime talents of saxophonist Josh Arcoleo, trumpeter Verneri Pohjola and guitarist Stuart McCallum.
Aztec Camera were a Scottish pop/new wave band formed by Roddy Frame, the group's singer, songwriter, and only consistent member. Formed in 1980, Aztec Camera released a total of six albums: High Land, Hard Rain (1983), Knife (1984), Love (1987), Stray (1990), Dreamland (1993) and Frestonia (1995). The band garnered popular success for the songs "Oblivious", "Somewhere in My Heart" and "Good Morning Britain" (a duet with former Clash guitarist Mick Jones).
Camera Soul continues to thrill fans of jazz-funk and neo-soul with their third stellar studio album, 'Dress Code'! Maria Enrica Lotesoriere, lead vocalist and co-composer of Camera Soul: "To receive the call of the Lombardo Brothers with the request to become the new voice of Camera Soul was like touching the realization of a dream I had always; to make the music that I've always loved [and] to work with some of the best jazz-soul musicians on the Italian scene. It is from this life-long dream, shared with great artists, but especially great souls, that 'Dress Code' was born. We worked hard and long to put in this, our third album, every single part of us, our path, and our maturity. Because the songs are like clothes, tailored for those who compose, but also for the listener. These songs today are our best clothes, those we have chosen to wear. This is our way of dressing the soul of our listeners."
