 V.A. Scotch & Sofa 1x CD Blue Note |
Ok, ok, it's all good with so many new artists these
days pumping out nice music at unprecedent rates, but from time to time, it's good to look back at the real
artists, the people with over 20 year careers, the artists that know their instruments inside out and can
entertain an audience as well. Yes, I am talking about heroes like Donald Byrd, Eddie Henderson, Earl Klugh,
Lonnie Smith, Lou Donaldson and so on... Well, all these brilliant musicians are together on the Scotch & Sofa compilation, featuring nothing but pure loungy jazz vibes. Yes, these smokey jazz outfits that invite to dream, to chill or if you are with that very special person, do even more. Yes, Scotch & Sofa is no future jazz, no blunted jazz or whatever people call it these days. No, this is the real moody jazz stuff. Open your ears for it and explore one for one this delicate package. Be it with the piano solo on "Out of this world" by 3 Sounds, the incredible trumpet play of Eddie Henderson on "Nostalgia", the exotic flutes of Donald Byrd on "Estavanico" or the rythm section of Duke Pearson on "The phantom", you'll enjoy every single second of this Scotch & Sofa listening experience. Yes, it's something different for a change, but that's Freestyle, open ears for all fresh vibes, and this Blue Note compilation definitely earns that Freestyle approved label. ez may/2000 |
