Cinematic funk heroes Calibro 35 present their new EP 'Jazzploitation': a tribute to jazz funk to be released on October 18th on all digital platforms via Record Kicks.Cinematic funk Italian legends Calibro 35 are always in search of new territories to venture into. Their new journey is called 'Jazzploitation': a new EP paying tribute to jazz-funk and groovy cinematic-jazz and the great repertoire of cult artists such as Idris Muhammad, Piero Umiliani, Bob James or Grover Washington Jr. The first single taken from the EP is a cover of RAI TV's legendary 'Lunedì Cinema (Monday Movie)' theme, a jazzy disco-funk mover composed by Lucio Dalla, which features for the occasion the scat singing of Sicilian artist Marco Castello (Nu Genea, Erlend Oye). The second single is 'Chaser', a groovy jazz-funk stormer composed by Piero Umiliani, who originally recorded it for the soundtrack of 1975's erotic-noir movie 'The Body', directed by Luigi Scattini. On the EP's tracklist feature also 'Nautilus' by the jazz keyboardist Bob James and 'Generique' by Miles Davis. Four jazz-funk numbers that confirm the musicianship of Calibro 35, already proven in over a decade of history. Described by Rolling Stone as "the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years", Milan-based Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest independent bands around. Active since 2007, during their long career they were sampled by Dr. Dre on 'Compton' ('One Shot One Kill' feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay Z ('Picasso Baby'), The Child of Lov & Damon Albarn ('One Day') and Demigodz ('The Summer Of Sam'). They played major venues and festivals all over Europe and as unique musicians they collaborated with, amongst others: PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Stewart Copeland and Rokia Traoré.
