Tsuchi No Ne - Toshiyuki Miyama & His New Herd (Marie Monday)
I'm soooo late again but I have been back at work and struggling to get in to the swing of normal life but I have finally put some time aside to get myself back up to speed
I have never listened to any sort of Jazz before unless it was in a tv show or in a film so I really wasn't expecting much from it and the other reviews weren't raving, so I'll be honest when I say I had pretty low expectations.
I really have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to Jazz so...
I have now listened to this album a fair few times because I really enjoyed it and it genuinely made me happy. I found some of the track lengths a bit daunting but quickly got over that when I was listening to it.
I found the progressive build ups to be fantastic and felt really motivated during some tracks. I loved how it had lots of funky beats and melodies throughout it. I especially liked dramatic instrumentals on this album, the musicians got the combinations and timings perfect and I really wish I could differentiate between the brass instruments because the musicians on them done such an excellent job on them.
A very surprising
9/10. I will definitely listen again. My Spotify actually started playing through similar music once the album ended and I happily listened to it all. Possibly a new Jazz fan
Next review coming up!!
