  • Description

    'Cosmic Forest' takes us on a spiritual journey through the musical universe of Musik Produktion Schwarzwald (MPS aka Black Forest Music Production), the most important German jazz label of the 1960's and 70's.

    Curated by Nicola Conte, 'Cosmic Forest' is a compilation that highlights some of the most compelling spiritual jazz recordings from 1965 to 1975. Conte, a world-renowned Italian musician and producer, as well as a passionate DJ and record collector, is a connoisseur of European jazz with an astounding ability to dig a little deeper when it comes to arranging such a compilation. In this case, he concentrated on the spiritual highpoints of the MPS catalogue, highlighting both well-known and obscure musical treasures, while connecting disparate pieces through a personal common thread. The choice of individual titles and the flowing character of their arrangement lend the album a quality of timelessness, while showcasing the breadth of the entire cosmic jazz collection within the MPS archives.
