New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble - Break Thru LP
SKU: BR046LP
Description:
The real kings of contemporary ska-jazz invite us to an exciting
cocktail of Jamaican beats and jazz sounds. Brilliant instrumental
tracks that will soon be classics and vocal songs showing their
exquisite taste and savoire faire. Includes a posthumous musical
tribute to the great Tom Petty.
NYSJE's 2019 album BREAK THRU is the fourteenth studio album from
this longstanding New York band from the so-called "third wave" and
led by Fred Reiter on sax and vocals. For the task a highflying
line-up: Mark Damon (bass and trombone), Kevin Batchelor (trumpet),
Joey Gallo (drums), Simone Amodeo (guitar) and Andrea Ferraro
(keyboards). As it is usual, sonorities on this new offspring
stroll through the sunny crossroad where American Jazz and Jamaican
ska meet.
Break Thru brilliantly unveils instrumental originals, three cover
versions and awesome instrumental technical skill. The more
ska-oriented tracks feature the contagious "Chicky Chicky Boom
Boom," the raving "Bopicana" and the title track. Freddie's Bounce"
and "Subliminal Seductions" allow the band free rein on jazzistic
abilities and classics on NYSJE repertoire as "Perfidia" and The
Wailers' "Love and Affection" find a natural place in the grooves
of this new record, as have always done on the bands live sets. A
sincere tribute to Tom Petty in the form of a cover of "Learning to
Fly" rounds off an album that once again shows the exquisite taste
and savoir-faire of NYSJE.
