. What are two excellent musicians doing when they meet again .
. after a long time? They talk a bit, go to the studio, switch .
. on a micro, and let the music speak for itself. The American .
. singer Dexter Porter and the German producer Hannes Bieger .
. can already look back on some years of partnership in music. .
. But not until they had this memorable studio session in .
. spring 2004 did their vision of music take shape. It was the .
. moment that the foundations for LLAVA's album High and .
. Rising were laid: An album that is somewhere between Soul .
. Jazz, Broken Beat, and Deep House, unique in its vibrating .
. intensity. As an amalgamation in many respects, LLAVA .
. reconciles quite a few supposed contradictions under the .
. same roof of music: America versus Europe, Soul Spirit .
. versus Sequencer Groove, old Jazz vibes versus today's .
. urbane nervousness. What reads like a contradiction is being .
. united tastefully in the LLAVA melting pot. Hannes Bieger .
. calls this approach the "Bossa Nova philosophy": a catchy .
. but ambitious structure of the song on the surface of the .
. sound, below that, a tightly woven network of sound, a world .
. of music in which there is a lot to discover. Complex beats .
. are kicking without being too abstract. Earthy analogue .
. sound meets highly detailed arrangements. And in the middle .
. of all this, there is the voice of Dexter Porter, .
. expressive, strong, and versatile. It shows to advantage in .
. intimate soul confessions as well as in opulent choir .
. arrangements. Numerous live instruments - different wind .
. players, rhodes, guitar, double-bass, and a grand piano - .
. enrich "High and Rising" with complementary lines of music .
. and tone colours that shine even more brightly against the .
. extensively used (analogue) synthesizers. High and Rising is .
. a recommendation for all that makes up good music: excellent .
. song-writing, virtuosity of musicians, and an elaborate .
. studio production, that stands out with a tightly woven and .
. warm sound. LLAVA's vision of music will enspire everybody - .
. the connoisseur of Jazz, the clubber, and the hunter for .
. a touching song with a hookline that fills you with .
. happiness. .
