Ηταν μοιραίο φαίνεται να γιορτάσουμε τα “10 Χρόνια Modernjazz.gr” με ένα ελαφρό ως επί το πλείστον πρόγραμμα, αφού έτσι προέκυψε από τις κυκλοφορίες του τέλους του καλοκαιριού.
Με σύγχρονη τζαζ τραγουδοποιία αξιώσεων από τις Somi, Gretchen Parlato, Suzanne Pittson και Audrey Powne, με στυλάτο jazz-hop και “tricky” beats που ευδοκιμούν ιδιαίτερα και στην Ευρώπη, με τη New Jazz φυσικά σε πρώτο πλάνο, συν λίγη δόση από “classy” Latin Jazz και “cult” Jazz-Fusion, για να επιβεβαιωθεί ακόμα μια φορά ότι η Kαλή Tζαζ μπορεί να αγγίζει τόσο τους περιστασιακούς, όσο και τους φανατικούς ακροατές της.
Καλή Ακρόαση, Καλή Διασκέδαση!
(Σημ: Το UTB παίζει μόνο δείγμα από Donald Vega,
και για τους Entre Amigos, αναγκαστικά άλλο κομμάτι)
