The Eddie Roberts Quintet - Trenta




















Eddie Roberts 8th album as leader features the acclaimed Roughneck line up and further explores his jazz influences with references to Grant Green, Ramsey Lewis, Gabor Szabo and swinging 60 soundtracks in the grooves of this latest recording session.
The New Mastersounds guitar ace has written some tough, some tender but always swinging arrangements of Italian tunes from the 60s and 70s with warm analogue production in his trademark Roughneck style.

For me, Eddie Roberts is one of the great unsung heroes of the UK Jazz scene. This man is one of the finest musicians we have and he should be world famous by now. Whether fronting his Roughneck live project, The New Mastersounds, or his own Quintet, Eddie oozes pure class! Russ Dewbury (Juice 107FM)

無意間想起逛逛你較舊的網誌,被這張復古封面及疑似拉丁文專輯名稱"trenta"吸引,再看到"......Genre : Funk / Soul, Jazz...."的字眼,應該是我尬意的類型.
一聽果然擊中要害,就是我這把年紀下了班開車回家的路上想放鬆一下但又不要慵懶氾濫的bossanova,這個eddie roberts實在是不錯的選擇,用四重奏編制及傳統的樂器及音效,玩出不吵又不惱人的funk,jazz,soul!這個正點!
eddie roberts 似乎無固定配合的樂手,好像也是獨立發片,部落格上有一些新作品可試聽!(http://www.myspace.com/eddieroberts)
希望itempo大字報下一集還能收到eddie roberts 的消息!
