Product Description
Trilok Gurtu and Simon Phillips have long wanted to make music together. And they did so in May 2010. These two leading drummers worked together within the framework of an NDR Bigband production. Arranged by Wolf Kerschek, directed by Jörg Achim Keller and supported by Michel Alibo on double bass and Roland Cabezas on guitar, this collaboration with the NDR Bigband was musical enjoyment of the highest magnitude.

| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  The Big Band Genre is Reborn!! Eastern Fusion, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 21 Spices (MP3 Download) A fiery fusion of a big band, with Eastern influences and killer musicianship, led by the rhythm master Trilok Gurtu. I'd love to know who all the musicians are because the solos CRUSH IT. Bassist is UNREAL, Simon is in the zone, and the composotions are killer. This CD transforms the big band genre. If you enjoyed the Jaco Pastorius Big Band, THIS is the album that SHOULD have been. Amazing. Outstanding.Imagine Shakti with a big band and you may come close. Outstanding! 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful Jaco and Weather Report Resurrected.....kind of, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 21 Spices (MP3 Download) This CD is full of wonderful music reminiscent of the Weather Report/Jaco Pastorius Big Band sound. This is tight, world music arranged and played at a very high level. The Indian percussive and vocal influences that Trilok Gurtu brings blends wonderfully with Simon Phillips on drums, and the German NDR Big Band. This CD is a mix of studio and live cuts. The torch has been passed, and these musicians have picked it up admirably. Highly recommended. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  worthwhile, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 21 Spices (Audio CD) I'm mystified as to why Daniel Goyone was not involved in this project, or credited on the music.His contributions to the originals for "1-2 Beaucoup" "21 Spices" had to be significant. In any case, I just wanted to give a shout out to Daniel. He provided the melody that transformed the Crazy Saints line-up into something special. In a way, this album is just a tribute to the best work that band did. The album is worthwhile as a new take on some great old songs. And the recording quality is very high. So it is worthwhile, and it's good for Simon Phillips to raise the profile of this songbook. On the other hand, I think if you pull together the original albums, you will find that they actually have a lot more energy and pace than the Big Band here does. Pick up copies of Usfret/Living Magic/ Crazy Saints/Believe. Or if you just want one album, get Bad Habits Die Hard. The Crazy Saints band was a band that made a mark... Read more |
