Just "Be" Part 3: Mondo Grosso
-
Artist:
Because in our western culture all good things are three (Btw: the Nahuatl - Mexican tribe - prefer in contrast to this the four), here's the third part of the Just "Be" series, with something, that's less cheezy than "Be":http://mog.com/Hermes/blog_post/85427 (sacrilege!). (Part 2 of the spontaneously emerged series on "Michelles blog":http://mog.com/mktackabery/blog_post/85471)

It's Mondo Grosso from Japan, to which I got known a little later than to Be - but only a few months later, shortly after they made their European tour. I don't know much trivia, first I thought they would be a group, now it seems, it's more like one guy with guest musicians. I don't have time right know, to do a deeper investigation, and before MOG, I was just listening and sometimes dancing to music, not memorizing all the nice details ;).His name is Shinichi Osawa and he's the leader and bassist of Mondo Grosso. It seems that he also did a few coops with Towa Tei (Fistula, do ya hear?).The album consits of two parts: live recordings + studio recordings.My favorite live track is "Souffles H", but it has 19MB and is more than 14 min. long, that's too much for MOG.That's why I show you "That's how it is" in its life version (you can skip the first minute, if you're not interested in that festival jubilations) and Souffles H in the "Dub Souffle" version. You just have to believe that the live recording of the last song is REAL jazz, without all that dub stomping, though, I also like this version. More, if someone is interested, later. Now enjoy da jazz and have a nice saturday.
