Album Notes

Jazzin' Reggae presents a new approach to the fusion between jazz and reggae. Roots reggae drum and bass provides the ground work for the jazz music of great composers like Henry Manvini, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and many others. Alberto Tarin is on guitar supported by various jazz and reggae linked Valencian musicians. The guitar style flows naturally on every track flavored by a dub oriented treatment of the musical atmosphere, but never too far from the live sound of a jazz trio or a reggae band. Jazzin' Reggae grooves get together in an original fusion like never before, stepping forward to a modern sound!
