Saxophonist Stefano Di Battista's third release for Blue Note records, Round About Roma, is awash with lush, orchestral arrangements in concert with a silky smooth jazz touch and shifting rhythms.
With this outing, the artist pays homage to his birthplace as he paints a vivid musical canvas of Rome, Italy -- where he conjures up imagery of a city beset with intrigue and romance.
Di Battista's brainchild features whispery flutes and soul-drenched sax lines amid the Symphonic Orchestra of Radio France's punctuating accents and contrasting motifs.
