Off the new album PIMPOINT[/b]. They just announced their European tour, are any folks off the Strut going to see them? How are peoples feeling the new album?
I dig the new record, not quite as manic as the earlier ones, but still great. They do a nice version of "Red Clay" on there. As far as the tour goes, I was super-bummed that I missed them when they played NYC not long ago, and based on the clips on You-Tube it looks like a great show, I'd love to check it out.
If you like this then you should check out la abel like Especial from Osaka. Quality stuff! They do more broken/Nu-jazz stuff as well but their jazz releases definitely rock! Hajime Yoshizawa for instance, great pianoplayer who used to be in Mondo Grosso and Kyoto Jazz Massive. Also don't miss out on the band Sleepwalker. They played a great show in Amsterdam almost 2 years ago and I couldn't go. Still crying over that one. Go check it out!
Damnit, they're not coming to Copenhagen. And the CPH Jazz Festival coincides with that Euro tour. The bookers are sleeping, this would have been a great addition to the program.
this is fantastic. did they press any non ep lps? if anyone got em and wanna sell em, holla, please.
they've just done eps and they're getting to be rare as shit, unfortunately. copped "summer goddess" for $25 on ebay the other day, then a few days later another copy went for $70.
