Asia Blue is the latest creation of Fabio Forte, the Italian trombonist, composer and arranger known throughout Europe and among cognoscenti in the US.
Forte has performed and recorded with Kenny Clark, Ennio Morricone, Tony Scott, and Pino Daniele. He is also the arranger for, and an essential element in the success of, Italian popstars including Gianni Morandi and teen phenomenon Plastico.

On Asia Blue, one hears the immediately recognizable and typical sounds of Indian music which Forte innovatively crosses with European melodies and the sound inspired by classic jazz solos on Blue Note Records from its 50's and 60's heyday.
The music on Asia Blue is magical, suffusing instruments from different traditions into a carefully crafted universal beat that creates an atmosphere which stimulates the imagination, frees the mind and touches every soul.

This recording showcases Fabio Forte's harmonious sensibility and warmth in a context that melts current trends in Chill-Out, Acid Jazz and Electronica. It also establishes beyond doubt that
Fabio Forte is a world-class musical creative force in the field of progressive music.
