Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 2004 release. This record represents Nicola Conte's music aesthetic from every angle. Always in balance between Jazz and Bossa Nova, revealing a compositive soul bounded to accomplished acoustic atmospheres. The composer's intention is to communicate not only through the music but through the lyrics too, showing a talented and learned songwriter. Inspired by the beat literature (The Dharma Bums is a true homage to Jack Kerouac) and that by the English one (Wanin' Moon is inspired by a Percy Shelley's poem), also the cinema and dramaturgy influenced the composer: Le Depart is a reassessment of the piece written in '67 by Krzysztof Komeda for the namesake Jerzy Skolimovsky's movie, and All Gone is a homage to Joseph Losey's "Il Servo," a '60s black-and-white movie directed by Harold Pinter.
