There are times in your life when you discover an artist that opens your mind to the infinite possibilities of the universe.For decades Louis Siciliano has been exploring the world of Electro Global Jazz by synthesizing a thousand years of Western musical tradition with ancient Indian, Chinese, Persian, African and Mediterranean musical cultures (NAPULE'S POWER sound). So highly regarded as an innovator in the music industry, he now sits on the Grammy Awards panel delivering judgement on his peers.

Now his self-titled quintet, consisting of Alex Acuña, Claudio Romano, Randy Brecker, Umberto Muselli and Siciliano himself, are releasing a track of extraordinary textures titled “Ancient Cosmic Truth.” The lead single from their upcoming album of the same name, the song is unsurpassed as the five-piece band adds extraordinary textures and a complexity of syncopated grooves and melodies that is truly astounding.

Just when you get comfortable and understand the nuanced sound the musicians are creating, they pivot and twist to bend the genre and take it in a new direction. This is more than just genius; it is seven minutes of thought-provoking majesty that is undeniably groundbreaking. 

Perfect for those creators who want to explore the farthest outreaches of Jazz, The Louis Siciliano Quintet is more than incredible. They are out of this world. Discover a deep existential journey to the universe and be at one with the cosmos. The Ancient Cosmic Truth is simply breathtaking, awe-inspiring and a staggering example of what happens when the supremely gifted step into the recording studio.
