* Enrico Fazio Septet -- "In Vino Veritas" -- Zapping! (A Recycled Project) (Leo, 2003)

This is a fun CD, with a big-band style of composition and lots of fast, short solos. This particular track is the 22-minute epic at the end of the CD ... after a long intro they break into a series of quick themes with solos on top. Cool stuff.

* Gianluigi Trovesi Otteto -- "Il Domatore" -- Fugace (ECM, 2003)

Weird record, that takes straightforward European jazz and occasionally drops in bizarro touches like harpsichord or guitar feedback. It's accessible stuff, just a little strange sometimes, in a good way.
