Band Members: i only want to let some people hear my music ,no ego or power attached,big deal huh NO TIMING CORRECTION SOFTWARE HAS BEEN USED,( quantize,timewarp)music should sound like title says , latin ,funk is funk and jazz is swing,; recognizable ,----- eric beek on all songs ,and on jean pierre on guitarsynth,( and didgeridoo ) ,first solo is zweitze zwart,----on blue monkeys,berimbau,----eric on vibes ( on berimbau ,first part ; vibe triggered synth ) and drums and a lil' bit piano, and synth ( solo ), geert jan bol on steinberger doublebass ( blue monkeys ) ,real instruments, hardly no midi involved ( although pinocchio is entirely midi as is the homebeatdrums too ,a yamaha electronic drum sound ,live played no beatconstruction ) , lots of multitracking ( for blue monkeys, and berimbau , that is )
Influences: reality as well as delusion-------herbie hancock ,joe zawinul,chick corea,keith jarrett,mccoy tyner,pat metheny,wayne shorter,miles davis (especially the period with herbie) wynton marsalis,meshell ndegeocello,mike mainieri,dave samuels,david friedman (especially the album; peace from chet baker),gary burton,frits landesbergen, russell ferrante,andy narell,brecker brothers,and the list goes on and on ,especially with all the new cats coming up to be young lions (hear for example ;check out david barker with azure,or gabriela kozyra,especially the nr.canibaile on her site ,an incredible singer, friends in the visible frontcollection on the main sitepage)
Sounds Like: desktopcomputer with soundcard-midi-interface connected to synth and mididrums (and normal acoustic drums), (midi) vibes, analog mixer,multitracked, or midi in/outputs ,no quantize used,neither things like timewarp (rhytmdistortion,can make it asymmetrical) or pitchshifting etc, music should sound like it is ment to be ,funk ,latin or swing should be recognized, as it is said in title, not timedistorted ,like someone with bad timing,asymmetric non flowing rhythms
