SIR OLIVER MALLY'S BLUES - CD STRONG BELIEVER

Popis - STRONG BELIEVER:
Jochen Aldingers DOWNBEATCLUB hammond.jazz.funk. Jochen Aldinger – hammond organ Konni Behrendt – guitar Matthias Macht – drums When you listen to DOWNBEATCLUB, you enter the world of easy-going grooves from Modern Jazz Funk, Reggae, AfroBeat and Drum&Bass. The trio, like barely any other ensemble, knows how to combine suspense with „easy-flow“ in their songs. In the traditional lineup „hammond organ – guitar – drums“ they ride along on the crest of a wave of witty Jazz Funk grooves, but whoever knows the musicians knows that they are by no means dusting off and re-using something that is old hat. Profoundly entertaining compositions with artful melodies, smooth beats and astonishing improvisations characterize Jochen Aldinger’s DOWNBEATCLUB.
