RARE GROOVE SPECTRUM VOL. 2 OUT NOW

/

Following on from the beloved first volume released in 2019, Vol.2 is another collection of re-works and re-imaginings traversing jazz funk rarities, balearic digs, latin groovers from the likes of Carly Simon through to Mongo Santamaria via Marcos Valle, Kool & The Gang and Pat Metheny. Backed by a stellar group of Melbourne musicians including members of The Bamboos & Menagerie, the album continues the tradition of creating "live re-edits" - all pulled off with an inimitable style and playfulness, though always with an obvious love for the foundations.

As Lance says: "Some of these versions can almost be looked at as DJ re-edits, sometimes we're extending what may be a really short track into something longer, or teasing out the elements in a song that really make it work on a dance-floor. It's essentially what someone does with a club re-edit, except we went the extra step and re-recorded the whole thing with a live band"
