Enrico Le Noci

• DIGIPACK EDITION

“Social Music”, the debut release from young Italian guitarist Enrico Le Noci, is in many ways a breath of fresh air. His music leans affectionately back to the jazz traditions served up from a bygone Blue Note era, whilst incorporating a fresh contemporary European feel that embodies a youthful joy of expression. The vibe is cool, the writing is mature, and the performances on this recording are exemplary.....Eight tunes feature on this session, each of them embodying the core principles of what this band are all about; intelligent hooks, to-die-for riffs, and beautifully executed musicianship. There’s an equality and equanimity to the whole thing, with all five musicians shining in equal measure, not just the band-leader. And that’s one of the reasons this album works so well, with Le Noci allowing everyone to contribute and feel a part of a unified collective, which very much benefits the overall recording....

All in all, “Social Music” is a very enjoyable adventure. The writing is excellent, the performances warm, intuitive and intelligent, and the production levels of a very high standard. I’d highly recommend it, and on the evidence of what I’ve heard on this recording, I would say that Enrico Le Noci has a very bright future ahead of him.
