Complete with crowd whoops and a compere, this live album from the Nostalgia 77
Octet has translated rather well from the Jazz CafΘ in London to this CD.
NostalgiaÆs brand of forward-thinking jazz-hop really lends itself to the live
environment, and thus this set takes their emotionally challenging compositions
to a level seldom reached on their studio recordings. ôThe Hungerö is nourished
by a vivid key display, sterling drummed percussion and apprehensive brass.
ôWatusaö is a race between sprinting keys and frantic percussion. Bonus cut,
ôThe Hope Suite", is equally as epic as the live pieces, with a solid bass,
optimistic saxes and ardent vocals colouring this three-part musical marathon.
21st century hopped out jazz for the open minded.
