Firmly bound to Schema Records since the beginning (“Ad Lib”, 2001), in over twenty years of career Gerardo Frisina has released several records that have consolidated his status as a leading name in the international jazz and electronic music scene. Always unique in blending traditional elements (latin jazz, funk, soul) with modern sounds, since “Moving Ahead” (2020) in particular Gerardo has introduced new ‘cosmic’ and ‘futuristic’ elements into his style, in a constant evolution that culminates today with “In Sight”: this new double work, conceived and produced in two separate volumes – the first to be released on April 4th, 2025 -, further refines a sound that can be clearly recognized from the first notes of each track.

Anticipated by the two singles “Mindoro” and “Desejar”, “In Sight Vol. 1” is finally revealed in all its glory. The artist’s care to every single detail is manifest in all of the album seven tracks, as per tradition oriented towards the clubbing context, with the exception of “O Soñho”, a slower-paced bossa nova with a cinematic atmosphere. The album also contains a previously unreleased instrumental version of “Samba Skindim” (title track from the 2009 10” EP), a ‘great classic’ and one of Frisina’s most appreciated compositions both by listeners and Gerardo himself.
