Escaping
from the clutches of a major label, New Cool Collective return
with this their 5th album. As fresh and exciting as ever, this
like the others is another mix of highly danceable soul and jazz
spiced with latin flavours. Now a 19 piece big band each track
starts off as if it's a 'live' jam of riffs and beats before
moving into a groove that is impossible to stand still too.
The band's 'Ms Wilson' is a
good example of how simple rthymns can get under your skin and
explode into rthymnic jazz. Actually, this version is the
band's way of getting back at an Ugandan English Teacher who
they met on tour who told them that drumming was not allowed
when teaching her kids music!! . Further a whole side of this
double CD is devoted to playing with the great Afro drummer,
Tony Allen who like Georgie Fame once came to guest at the now
legendary Amsterdam monday night club sessions with the band.
Banish those negative thoughts
and experience music that will raise your spirits and buy this
innovative and creative album from this exceptional group
