Both the title and psychedelic cover of this album send you to the 70's. For his homage to one of the greatest periods in music, Aldo Romano enrolled two of the hottest names on the French music scene-bassist Remi Vignolo and pianist Baptiste Trotignon. Aldo Romano picked for this project an eclectic selection of pop(french) and rock songs, from Gainsbourg's 'Je t'aime moi non plus', through Dylan's 'Mr Tambourine Man' and Wyatt's 'Sea Song' to Zeppelin's 'Black Dog'. The three virtuoso don't just revisit these songs, they offer us their own fresh acoustic jazz interpretation of these nostalgic "standards" and proove that even without words and some forty years later these immortal melodies can still moove the listener. Full of energy, grooving and highly entertaining.
