There are a few layers one can peel off ‘FUTURISTIC’. First, there’s its face value: a stunning jazz and soulful piece wrapped in first-class musicianship and evocative, luscious vocals. The perfect match for any classy listener out there, the record benefits from Mævey’s aforementioned vocal tone and Mama Terra’s compositional prowess. A Glaswegian pianist and composer known by day as Marco Cafolla, Mama Terra does a fantastic job, drenching ‘FUTURISTIC’ in sharp eclecticism and elegant sound choices.
Now onto the second layer: ‘FUTURISTIC’ belongs to Baltic Jazz Recordings’ catalogue, the imprint of legendary producer Steve Levine. The way the label operates is rather simple yet effective, with Levine leveraging its musical expertise to partner up with upcoming talents and guide everyone to success. Everything is very well curated, especially when it comes to the raw musical product: a stunning slice of blissful euphoria and expressive lyricism that we can’t get enough of.
Speaking about the record’s upbringing, Steve explains: “I’ve admired Marco’s work as a solo artist and with Mama Terra. When I reached out for a collaboration with Baltic Jazz Recordings, he immediately agreed. His keyboard playing on my Rhodes and synthesizers added energy to our session, elevating my production. Together, we crafted a track that clearly shows the range of Jazz, Funk, and Soul Baltic Jazz Recordings explores.”
