Today, the Spotlight shines On Roberto Di Gioia of the German Jazz supergroup Web Web and his group’s collaborator, the songwriter and producer Max Herre. WEB WEB’s fifth album is also their second with Max, appropriately titled, WEB MAX II, out now on Compost Records (https://compost.kudosrecords.co.uk/artist/72282/web-web-x-max-herre) .
This is an exciting, genre-bending album that includes appearances from Los Angeles-born percussionist and producer Carlos Gabriel Niño (https://carlosnino.bandcamp.com/) , hot on the heels of his own work on the new Andre 3000 album (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/matthewdavid-interview-andre-3000-new-album-1234886099/) …
This record is the complete package, from the striking cover art to every well-placed organic and synthetic musical touch. Roberto, who is a repeat guest of Spotlight On, and Max are both fun, engaging, and deeply committed artists.
