Artist:	QUINTEPLUS
Title:	Quinteplus
Label:	VAMPISOUL (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	VAMPI 094CD

2007 release. Founded after the "New Jazz Collective" movement in Argentina in the late '60s, Quinteplus was a space for reflection and rehearsal to determine the paths that jazz should take. An experiment with folk genres in a jazz key, and the exploration of African rhythms, as a bridge between both musical worlds. This set contains the only studio album they ever released (in 1972) and a great bonus: a complete live recording of a gig from the same year, unreleased until now. The record is a sophisticated exhibition of the musical cocktail that characterized the band -- tunes composed by its members, fluent jazz language, experimentation with folk rhythms, funky touches by the amplified upright bass and electric piano, compact sound and great solos by the group's brass players. The music sounds fresh, attractive, unprejudiced and dexterously played. A work ahead of their time. Includes a complete band bio and liner notes.
