Stonetown Boogie

En sammensmeltning af jazz og vestafrikansk musik med koraen som klangligt centrum, og farver fra østen, Caribien, blues og afro-beat.

”Dansk/ Afrikansk kvartet spiller et forførende mix af jazz og vestafrikansk musik.

Det kan lyde som en kliché, men det forholder sig ikke desto mindre sådan, at man ikke kan fastholde sin hårdt tilkæmpede, stærkt tilknappede melankoli og om-sig-gribende måneformørkelse, når man lytter til denne afrikansk inspirerede musik. Man bliver simpelthen - om man vil det eller ej - glad i låget af at høre den.

Vel er musikken simpel, let tilgængelig og sine steder endda frejdig. Men den har også dybde, karakter og kant. Og det gør den lytteværdig - igen og igen. "
