The Paolo Achenza Trio - Chameleon (part. 1) by Schema Records

The SC704 premises are in a remote past... We need to go back to the days of the early ‘90s, when the first record by Schema was released.

In 1993 we handled Right Tempo records and published a 3 tracks EP which was highly acclaimed by the international acid jazz scene. Behind the project there was Nicola Conte, a leading figure in Bari’s new jazz scene who acted as a catalyst in many productions.

Our followers should remember ‘Introducing The Paolo Achenza Trio’.

As Paul Bradshaw from ‘Straight No Chaser’ magazine commented, the record was “Rooted in the soulful funk of the sixties and early seventies jazz...”

Mysteriously, a fourth track hadn’t been released at that time...

The new 7 inch series by Schema gives us the chance to listen to ‘Chameleon’ a cover version of Herbie Hancock’s classic, featuring Gianluca Petrella on trombone.
