VIDEO: Giulio Carmassi – SLICK STUFF (Brecker Brothers) in LA

In Episode Six when we played Giulio Carmassi, we mentioned his youtube videos. Carmassi’s musical talent is…unfair. He can play 20 different instruments (including the descant recorder), and has played in rock bands, composed for films, dabbled in Electronica and lived in Italy and LA. Being British, the easiest thing in the world would be to hate him, and we would…if we didn’t love him so much.

Here’s a taster of just how disgustingly brilliant the man is.

You know those guys who want to be Olympic cyclists but just can’t be bothered with the early mornings, incessant Weetbix eating and chafed nether regions? You know how they placate their unfulfilled ambitions by buying the latest, greatest and shiniest gear they can find? They get the bike hand-tuned by a little old man who lives in Belgium, lights so bright they could dazzle the sun and the kind of figure-hugging attire generally only seen in the kind of films favoured by the Home Secretary’s husband?

Well we’re not exactly that guy, but we did drop a few pennies on some very Gucci kit since Episode Two. GetJazzical now has the knobs, wires and pop-guards needed to bring you, our discerning listener, the aural experience you deserve. So… yeah it should sound better now, ok?

This week we’ve got the body-rocking Bad Ass Brass, the ensemble Present Music, the cool Lisa Cay Miller, some dude called ‘Count Basie‘ or something and the electro-fusion Telegraph Melts. Get some.
