Review |
|---|
They've done it again! With the twelve songs on 'Expansion', their even better third album, the septet [Re:Jazz] achieves the next step in its very successful journey. Presenting for the first time brilliant own compositions besides transitions of favourite club tunes from days gone by. Being one of the internationally most acclaimed and successful German jazz acts, they have now sold more than 60,000 copies worldwide so far, again the musicians around pianist and arranger Matthias Vogt and vocalist Inga Lühning revived club classics transposing them into their typical [Re:Jazz] sound. This time they teased the up to now well hidden jazz souls out of house hits like Joe Smooth's 'Promised Land' and Jaydee's technoid 'Plastic Dreams' or Ce Ce Peniston's dance anthem 'Finally'. They turned Coldcut's 'People Hold On' into a big band swing and Latinized Herbie Hancock's 'Rock it' into flawless slow motion regions. More inventive and authentic than Nouvelle Vague or Paul Anka, just to name two prominent epigones. 'Expansion' is also brilliant for its selection of guest artists, the British soul voice Alice Russell, being hugely in demand as a vocalist and having gained an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the world, right now hits the spot. Besides her appear Beanfield vocalist Ernesto and 76 year old legendary Ack van Rooyen on flugelhorn. The third [Re:Jazz] album is a sensible and sensual entity, bringing infinite joy. With 'Expansion' [Re:Jazz] broadens their and our horizons. The classical reinterpretations and their already classical sounding own compositions set a new benchmark and new accents skillfully and with feeling and taste. Even though the live tour is on top of the list at the moment, playing at the Popkomm music festival, renowned clubs and festival as well as in Japan, where [Re:Jazz] is hugely successful, Matthias already thinks of the next album. "I could do [Re:Jazz] easily until the end of my life," he reflects. "There is plenty of material. But most important of all it becomes more and more a pleasure." Which you can hear and sense from the first beat of the percussion until the last piano chord. [Re:Jazz] always is a good thing and an even better feeling.
