Drummer Forest Cazayoux? Never heard of him before.
Dakota Colby, Joseph Woullard, Fumihito Sugawara, Damian Valenzuela - to name just a couple of random picks from the fourteen musicians strong group gathered here? Neither.
I only stumbled upon this record because Lulu Neudeck's Worst Bassist Records is one of the five labels collaboratively releasing it, the others being Echodelick, Ramble Records, We Here & Now and Weird Beard. Good job guys, since this is an unexpectedly fantastic revelation!
CAZAYOUX - Cazayoux (LP) (2023)
I think I will keep it short, so you're faster through my rambling and can hit the play button below earlier! If the premise of instrumental Funky-ass Psychedelic Latin Afro-Beat Jazz Fusion with many layers of percussion, bass, keys and horns horns horns sounds at least interesting to you, than you're mandatorily obliged to give this multi-national band from Texas a listen.
You'll only risk a likely addiction to the rush of dopamin, endorphin, serotonin and all that other good happiness stuff triggered by this. So what are you waiting for?
It's a sweet and short record, almost humble in its format, but it effortlessly breathes a global legacy, echoing influences from Fela Kuti to Dom Um Romao, from British Fusion big bands to Ryo Kawasaki, from Klaus Weiss' Niagara to Santana.
The instrumentation is so smooth and rich and filled with so many great individual performances by flutes, guitar, trumpet, balafon, organ... But again there's something humble about this music, as noone unduly steals the spotlight. These are all teamplayers, always acting in favor of the fat Funk ensemble sound. It's just fiery, spicy, great. Undoubtly among my top contenders for the title of most uplifting feel-good album of the year!
