Gerardo Frisina - Note Book A Journey In Sound The Remixes

Review by dita oktaria

Note Book: A Journey in Sound – The Remixes by Gerardo Frisina Let’s talk about Note Book: A Journey in Sound – The Remixes, the 2007 gem from Italian artist Gerardo Frisina. If you’re into Latin vibes with a splash of electronic beats and jazz, this album is like that perfect espresso—smooth, bold, and leaving you wanting more. Released under Schema Records, it blends genres like Future Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Latin Jazz, and even House into something that feels both nostalgic and fresh. First off, props to the team behind this project. You’ve got Elena Pollini on artwork (those visuals are fire), Luigi Bonafede tickling the ivories like it’s nobody’s business, and Gianni Lo Greco holding it down on drums and percussion. Oh, and let’s not forget Germano Zenga on saxophone—his solos are straight-up hypnotic. This isn’t just an album; it’s a vibe machine powered by some serious talent. Now, onto the tracks. I’ll be honest—I’m still stuck on “Stardust From Tomorrow (Dissociated Moods Version).” It starts slow, almost dreamy, but then BAM! The beat kicks in, and suddenly you’re transported to a smoky jazz club somewhere in Milan or Havana. There’s this moment where the trumpet, courtesy of Marco Brioschi, dances around the rhythm so effortlessly—it’s like hearing sunshine. Every time I listen, it reminds me why remixes can sometimes outshine the originals. Another standout is “Black Forest Stomp.” Honestly, how do you not move to this? The bassline hits hard, thanks to Enzo Lo Greco, while the piano adds this playful bounce that makes your feet go wild. It’s one of those songs that sneaks up on you when you least expect it, like when you’re cooking dinner and suddenly find yourself dancing between the stove and fridge. That’s the magic of Gerardo Frisina—he doesn’t just make music; he creates moments. What strikes me most about this album is its ability to feel global yet intimate. Sure, it’s rooted in Italy, but the Afro-Cuban influences give it wings to fly anywhere. Listening to it feels like flipping through a photo album filled with memories you didn’t know you had. Here’s the thing though—while writing this review, I realized something kinda funny. For all the high-energy tracks here, my favorite moments are actually the quieter ones. Maybe it’s because they catch me off guard, reminding me that sometimes the best sounds don’t shout for attention—they whisper. So yeah, if you haven’t checked out Note Book: A Journey in Sound – The Remixes, do yourself a favor and hit play. Just don’t blame me if you end up lost in its grooves for hours. After all, good music has a way of doing that.
