Deep Tango Jazz latino Noir
Russell Hall | Houston, Texas | 09/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is naked music: immediate, unfiltered and naturally fun. Latin jazz and lougne meet in a very comfortable dimly lit place. Image Tom Waitts backup band, a tango combo, a dimly lit dance hall in Brazil where people meet in disguises to arouse their passions behind sensual masks. That is what this music feels like. It has rough edges and unglossed sounds. Accordin that reminds you of the Trinity Sessions by Cowboy Junkies, accoustic bass like Ry cooter's Cuban recordings, persussion from a film noir 1950's Mambo bands, a haunted hollow body electric rhythm guitar, and the tasty completely insync atmospheric sound treatmens.
Sound like a Lynch film with vastly more appealing songs and instrumentation. No vocals to spoil the mood. Remember this is naked music with flaws and imtemacy.
Why five start...when you've heard preplalled lounge and extremely professional Blue Note jazz, this is a fresh midnight breeze....it is deep tango jazz latino noir. Intrigued? Buy it and find out."
