| Four Digital-only World Jazz Fusion Albums By Gino Foti Released On Net Dot Music Label Net Dot Music, Inc. announces the simultaneous release of four digital-only full-length albums in several jazz and world music sub-genres by bass guitar and keyboard player Gino Foti. The collection, compiled from his catalog of the past decade, blends traditional ethnic sonorities and modern jazz fusion influences into new experiments of cultural hybridity, with each individual album complementing the others by design. Asian Mosaic - Like the universal Yin-Yang concept, balance, dynamism, and inner harmony are the primary features of this release. The vast cultural and geographic expanse of the continent is encompassed into fourteen compositions that fuse exotic instruments, Taoist mysticism, and Dharmic philosophy with the forms and tonality of Western music. Indian Mosaic - Carnatic and Hindustani traditions, Vedic mantras, Hindu philosophy, and additional indigenous influences are intermingled with jazz, rock, ambient, trance, electronica, and other Western genres in a fourteen-piece collection that spans the long history and rich culture of the subcontinent. Latin Mosaic - The infectious pulses and unbridled passion of the diverse rhythms, styles, and sounds of Latino music are blended in twelve contemporary jazz-rock fusion contexts that feature improvised melodies and solos, unconventional song forms, and an emphasis on its African roots and Iberian heritage. Mediterranean Mosaic - Twelve compositions reflecting the multicultural diversity of the lands that surround its sea. Folk and traditional music - featuring flamenco - from the western shores, and tonal systems & rhythmic forms from the eastern region are enriched with modern jazz, creating a new form of ethnic fusion that resonates beyond its boundaries.
