Our Take
Our Take
Ah, VU CUONG 4-TET! What can we say about this enigmatic jazz outfit that hasn't been said before? Well, plenty actually. Their latest offering, "Change In The Air", is a whimsical journey through a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as the British weather.
The opening track, "Rain Dance", sets the tone for the album beautifully with its hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies. It's like being caught in a sudden downpour of musical genius – refreshing, invigorating, and slightly damp.
As we delve deeper into the album, tracks like "Sunshine Shuffle" and "Breezy Bossa" showcase the band's versatility and ability to switch seamlessly between moods and styles. It's like going from a bright, sunny day to a cool, moonlit night in the space of a few minutes.
But the standout track has to be "Foggy Funk", a groove-laden masterpiece that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in pure musical ecstasy. It's like being enveloped in a thick, mysterious fog of funk, with no way out but to dance your troubles away.
Overall, "Change In The Air" is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of VU CUONG 4-TET. It's like taking a musical holiday in a land where the sun always shines, the rain always falls, and the only language spoken is that of jazz. So grab your umbrella, slip on your dancing shoes, and let the music take you on a wild ride. You won't regret it.
