Continuing the jazz vibe on undomondo, I’ve decided to choose this French trio’s last album for a quick review. Aldo Romano, Louis Sclavis and Henri Texier are 3 major French contemporary jazz figures, and this album is the final chapter of the African journey that started 10 years ago.

Well I wouldn’t want to show this as a solo album, but the names of these guys added up would take up half the screen together, so I shortened the title a little bit. The correct title should have read Fahir Atakoglu / Horacio El Negro Hernandez / Anthony Jackson - If (what an ironically [...]

Yesterday’s New Quintet’s last offering Sound Directions : The Funky side of Life on his own Stones Throw label.
“The Funky Side of Life” represents Madlib’s first full length [...]

(from their 2005 album Spirituals)

Flanger has been an inspirational band for the last few years (although the name sux :P), thanks to the sheer brilliance of AtomTM and Bernd Friedman. Both have delivered exceptional releases on many labels (Ninja Tune, Rather Interesting, K7 etc.) and many names (Senor Coconut, Atom Heart, Burnt Friedman & The [...]
