les gammas are jochen helfert, harmonic supervisor, and marc frank,
rhythm addict, both living in augsburg, bavaria. their first tune
"servus mr. bond", which was released in february 1999, was
actually recorded in december 1997, and marked the beginning of
their musical alliance. as jochen listened to one of marc's
dj-sets, he decided that this must be the way. as marc heard jochen
play fender rhodes, it was clear that their vision of soulful and
percussive jazz music in the 90's could only be realised with each
other's musical passions. suddenly, as les gammas, they found odd
metres and counterpointed, shiny string arrangements are no
antagonists of the jazz-influenced electronically produced dance
music in the 90's. this is something they always wanted to appear
in one song, but never could imagine how harmonic, yet exciting and
uplifting it could be.
"so many musical pieces bossa nova, spy-movie soundtracks, swing
vocals, jazzy basslines and well-set synth-solos are ironically
layered, and yet they naturally create three seamless and exciting
club tunes".
