Perhaps better known for his library music (a mixture of easy listening, funk, reggae and electronic music), composer and multi-instrumentalist Enzo Minuti, aka Ezy Minus, went back to his roots with the jazz pieces released for the first time in this collection, which taken together can be seen as a declaration of love for the syncopated music that inspired him to become a professional. The album’s cool-jazz, intriguingly nocturnal ambience ranges frommodern, crime, post-bop and west-coast sounds with an urban glam vibe
(“Casino Jazz Club”, “Roulette”, “Tuxedo”, “Silk & Charme”, “Evening Dress”, “Long Shot”, “Two Mistresses”, “Mille Miglia”) to sweet, sentimental ballads (“Chemin De Fer”; “Last Bet”) and nostalgic bossa novas (“The French Riviera”; “Cabriolet”; “Riviera Ligure”), to romantic jazz or Dixieland orchestration (“Lady Baccara”, “Champagne Night”).
