I am so late on this but…..I’m a huge fan from the get go and was so happy when Giant Step sent me their CD “Of All The Things”. It took several listens before I was convinced that it was just as juicy and lovely – no let down from their previous mastery! My fave is ‘Lie’ ft Thief.
But- Jazzanova are the BEST!
Berlin’s Jazzanova collective formed in 1995, after DJing with one another at a club called Delicious Doughnuts. Alexander Barck, Class Brieler, Roskow Kretschmann, Stefan Leisering, Axel Reinemer, and Jürgen von Knoblauch shared a common goal of blending their collected inspirations together to create a new, sophisticated sound, with debts owed to nearly every form of dance-oriented music from the past several decades.
It’s to be expected that Jazzanova would turn in excellent productions with every track, but what’s most impressive about Of All the Things is the work that Jazzanova haven’t made their forté in the past — songwriting, arrangements, and the pairing of each vocalist with a song that works perfectly for them.
