Up Above DEBUT CD featuring:
Eliel Lazo on Percussion (Savage Rose, DR BigBand)
and Mads La Cour (DR BigBand)
UP ABOVE CD ON ITUNES:
Much has happened since spring 2006 when these five young (early 20..s) guys went together to dive into a style of jazzfusion and funk, only to discover that this new formed group was offering them musical experience and communication at a new higher level. As we write 2008 they’re releasing their debut album called ’Up Above’ featuring cuban Eliel Lazo on percussion and young jazz comet Mads la Cour on trumpet.
The sound of the blasting saxophone combined with soft overdriven guitars, smooth rhodes and squaking lead synths and a grooving and swinging rhythm section brings memory back to the 70s and 80s great fusion groups and puts Up Above right into the todays jazzfusion music map.
This debut album contains ten tracks which will offer the listener a large range of styles and moods from jazz to funk, all in a smooth groovy package.
