Weekly Music - Nov. 4th

Current mood: curious
Category: Music

This week I'm going to review something from my country for a change. Now don't be scared, we have lots of better things than bad politics, and that's things like Masseratti 2Lts.

This is an electronic chillout group, focused on the down tempo, mixed by 2 twin brothers that live appart, one in France and the other here in Venezuela. They've combined numbers of beats, sounds and elements to make one amazing chillout collection, thanks to the music and styles they have been exposed to in the different countries they live.

Latelly, they combined folk sounds from Venezuela and some very interesting mixes that set a great mood. If you're wondering what good does it make to recommend something from here that's probably unavailable to people abroad... well let me tell you that you can get almost all of their cds in ITunes, CD Baby and some on Amazon.

This week "Golden Rec" is Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. I don't think this record needs any introduction what-so-ever... But well, there are some that haven't been fortunate enough to face this music.

This one is THE JAZZ RECORD from the get-go. Miles Davis is simply great, and his performance is flawless considering this was recorded in almost 2 shots by song... amazing, huh? John Coltrane is the tenor saxophone, so you can pretty much know that this is great music.
My favorite tracks are "So What?" and "Flamenco Sketches", the last one has been re-released in a reissue in 1997 that is great as well. If you're a fan of jazz music like me, you probably already own this, if not... all of you my darling readers, go ahead, you know what to do...
See you next week!
