Jah Jazz Orchestra - Introducing LP
SKU: BR084
Description:
Jah Jazz Orchestra is an ensemble of jazzmen active on the Swiss,
French and European scene that goes back to the roots of Ska –
initially, and in extreme summary, a Jamaican take on American jazz
and rhythm’n’blues - to deliver its own blend of groove,
improvisation and big-band arrangements.
This debut album revisits compositions from jazz legends such as
Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie and Joe Henderson
as well as two classics from The Skatalites repertoire (Ska La
Parisienne and King Solomon). The original arrangements set these
tunes in grooves ranging from classic ska to reggae, strolling
through rocksteady, with the ever presence of Jamaican jazz and the
influence of artists such as The Skatalites, Ernest Ranglin, Jazz
Jamaica…
Beyond this diversity, the unity of “Introducing Jah Jazz
Orchestra” is hinted at by its title: it introduces the listener to
a new band with a distinctive sound. A powerful horn section that
can build a massive wall of sound as well as intricate lines and
fiery solos. A rock-solid rhythm section that knows how and when to
react in an interactive way.
