Hot on the
trails blazed by ‘Projecto B.F.C,” comes
“That’s What She Says” continuing the Fest family tradition of fusing
jazz harmony with Brazilian rhythms.
Guitarist Phill Fest, son of Manfredo Fest, returns with perhaps an even
broader example of samba-jazz and all of it’s grace. This time around the sound pallet is expanded
with the addition of trumpet/flugel, female vocals, percussionists, and again
the harmonica virtuosity of Hendrik Muerkens.
Highlights include compositions by Phill, Manfredo Fest and Antonio
Adolfo’s ‘Chora Balao,” as well as a tribute to bossa creator Joao Gilberto
with “De Conversa em Conversa.”
The Grammy Award-winning jazz collective & Holland's famous Metropole Orkest have created Sylva, a dreamlike cinema-concept-album dedicated to the forest, a place that enraptures bandleader/founder Michael League, who penned the songs. With graphic creations by Miraphora Mina ("Harry Potter"), the DVD companion is a feature- length film on the making of this stellar opus. Sylva will be performed only in Paris and Rotterdam, but the movie will be screened in key US cities. Trackslisting: Sintra, Flight, Atchafalaya, Curtain, Gretel, and Clearing. ~ Amazon
SWINGING JAPAN:THE NEO-MOOD SCENE TOKYO STYLE
Acid Jazz
are proud to bring you this compilation album which features some of Japans’
finest Neo-Mod and “J-Mod” bands on one compilation. These
tracks have been specially selected by Acid Jazz who ventured to find music to
excite the modern listener. This venture led to the discovery of the following
collection of songs and the overall discovery of Japan’s uber-hip Neo-Mods,
music and fashions which aren’t constricted by the self-conscious rules and
restraints upon which cliquey European modernists constantly insist. What
“Swinging Japan” delivers is a 14-track compilation of raw and energetic garage
tracks, plus jazzy, groovy, psychedelic tunes that have been specially selected
to be part of this compilation. Think of
this album as a trip to Kingslow 1969, Carnaby Street circa 1970, with a return
flight to modern day Tokyo! ~ Amazon
