What would happen if Ornette was sunbathing in Cuba? Maybe Passing Notes.
Entirely composed and arranged by Gaspare De Vito, âPassing Notesâ is inspired by the tradition of improvised jazz and the sacred rhythms of Cuban âregla de ochaâ fused together to make a surprising new sound. The cyclical rhythms of âregla de ochaâ mixed with the unusual harmonic/melodic texture of the improvised tradition; old opposites meet and the path to connect them is revealed.
