Schema records, with Balanço’s album “More”, testifies the research behind this ulitmate lounge bossa collection. This second album shows the extensive growth of the project and particularly of its components, proposing sixties sounds, mixed with foot tapping sampled beats evenwith a touch of Chet Baker in the flugelhorn parts courtesy of the young Italian jazz musician Fabrizio Bosso.

“More” follows “Bossa & Balanço” (SC 305) that launched Balanço as one of the new fixations on the Japanese and Korean scene. Produced by Nicola Conte the new album had a positive introduction by the successful rmx by Jazzanova of “Metti una sera a cena” and will feature caliber covers of tracks such as “More” and “Cuori Solitari”.
