Listened to "After The Rain Samba" and inspite of the quality of the recording the music prevailed nicely! A sparkling performance was rendered by each member of the group, highlighted by the type of interaction which makes jazz music so vibrant. Stand out performances by the drummer and rhodes pianist... Don't be left out - check this out the documentation of what was obviously a fine "live performing" jazz ensemble! |

CarimbaCarimba are a concept band based in Glasgow
in Scotland. Incorporating the fusion of various musical styles, based
on the principles of the jazz funk/rock era of the 80's. Music based
on today's rhythms overlaid by the basic jazz sound. |
Played "After The rain Samba". We thought this was simply superb. Great drum intro and latin jazz rhythms just like they should be - brilliant bass playing. Solos reflect the ability of the musician but also his ear for the audience - complex and interesting but highly musical too - a kind of free style with a conscience! Brilliant stuff! |

Paul CopelandA composer/arranger of classical music from Australia.Paul had the opportunity of composing using the Fairlight C.M.I (Computer Music Instrument) 25 years ago. In 1975 the Melbourne Conservatorium owned a large analogue synthesizer, the 'Synthi 100'. Only a small number were manufactured worldwide. Paul had the opportunity to use one. |
Wild Strawberries is a piece of music that could almost be a theme for a film. In fact the opening bars remind me of some film music, but I can’t recall the film right now. But that is okay, all music has some form of relationship with each other – thematically - harmonically, structurally etc. I really enjoyed their performance. Here is another professional group, playing music that should be listened to by all Trad Jazz fans worldwide. Well done. |
