Rippers Notes:
A sophisticated yet versatile package, Mojave
is a contemporary jazz quintet based in
Auckland, exploring jazz, latin, lounge and
other energetic grooves.
This ensemble of accomplished musicians creates
a sophisticated atmosphere with inimitable
Mojave originals and tasteful arrangements of
lounge standards with an energetic Latin
styling.
The warm rhythmic groove of Mojave is
constructed with the exuberant improvised flute
playing of Trudy Lile, complemented by the
suave, virtuosic piano solos of Kevin Field and
Nathan Porter. Bassist Pete Thornley, the drums
of Phil Cook and the expertly placed percussion
of John Highsted, make up a cool, considerate
and elegant rhythm section. Johannes Dimyadi
adds a touch of relaxing and beautiful finger
style guitar at the end.
As well as some refreshing originals, the music
on this album consists of some classic jazz
standards and songs attributed to several
legendary musicians. . Bossa Nova Blues is a
tribute to the composer, the late and great
Herbie Mann. Hardly a gig goes by without a
request for a song from Jethro Tull, as Living
in the Past is brought into the new millennium.
Fever, a song made famous by the late Peggy Lee
is given some cool latin treatment
A ristretto is distinguished by its intense
flavour and taste. "Restricted" espresso is for
the true espresso lover, an extremely rich and
robust coffee beverage. This is the most strong
and concentrated of espressos
