Italy’s most decorated jazz Flutist, Michele Gori, became the master of expressive syncopation once more in ‘Flute Factor’.  

After becoming renowned as one of the most prominent flute players on the European jazz scene and becoming Italy’s sole jazz flute professor, the multi-award-winning Italian virtuoso, Michele Gori, unveiled one of the most definitive jazz flute collections of the era when he released his third studio album, Flute Factor.

Though we strongly recommend listening to the album in full, the expressive phrasing and improvised syncopation of the light and airy flute notes is especially striking in its cathartic flair in the standout single, Jazz Time.

With the flute notes leading the instrumental arrangement, the seminal instrumental piece carries a dreamy, almost ethereal air as Gori’s technical and rhythmic complexity softly resounds over the keys and percussive fills. Spirited and resolving in equal measure, you couldn’t ask for a more sublime sonic atmosphere to slip into.
