Exploration by Calibro 35
Legendary Milanese combo Calibro 35 continue their journey into the world of cinematic jazz-funk with their new album "Exploration." Set for worldwide release on June 6, "Exploration" marks their return to independent label Record Kicks after their last studio album "Nouvelle Aventures" released on Universal Music in 2023. The band picks up from their latest EP, "Jazzploitation," released on Record Kicks last October.
"Exploration" is a deep dive into the universe of cinematic jazz-funk, showcasing both the band's reinterpretations of timeless classics such as Roy Ayers’ “Coffy” or Bob James “Nautilus” and original compositions by the band such us the lead single “Reptile Strut”, the jazz-funk stormer “The Twang” and the soulful cinematic number “Pied De Poule”.
