Electronic but organic. Base level FUNK with intellegent melody and orchestration. Minimal non-traditional quintet instrumentation. Elements of Hip Hop, Improvisational Jazz, Electronica, DJ and even a pinch of oddly phrased Bossa Nova. BLAZE delivers the smooth yet raw goods. drums and sampler: Brannen Temple bass: Yoggie trumpet: Ephraim Owens tenor and baritone sax: Philippe Vieux turntables: Nick Nack This disc offers you a view into the current state of cross cultural, improvisational music. Without boring you with cliche' melodies Night Sangin' remains adventurous like aggressive east coast jazz and it's also easy to hear on repeated listens.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
Great album! I love Blaze's fusion of various musical styles. My only critique of the album is the repetitive use of the turntables - other than that it was a great effort. Thanks Sean Read more...
