So you want some pure and funky acid jazz?
Dr. Mombazo is an eclectic group of musicians from Seattle who have been recording together for the last 10 years. Their original music derives from an amalgamation of rock, funk, acid jazz, techno, down tempo, and various other ethnic styles. The music can best described as "acid jazz meets ethnic funk".
The band consists of Craig Rosenberg on drums and percussion, Michael Crouse on bass guitar, Sean Lahay on keyboards, Glen Lynskey on electric guitar, and Bill Currie on keyboards and electric violin. In addition, Dr. Mombazo has been known to record with other guest musicians from time to time. For the last several years they have been focusing their talents on recording studio and live albums and producing music for film and video.
Currently the band is in the studio working on their next double album to be
released in the Spring of 2004. The music of Dr. Mombazo starts out as improvised
jams that are recorded onto wax disk with a single ancient Czechoslovakian microphone
made of stained glass and intricately woven romaine lettuce leaves. The extended
jams are then edited directly on the wax disk cylinders with a sterile number
16 sewing needle and pinking sheers. After a hard days work in the studio the
band enjoys relaxing by extended tunneling.
Perhaps you would like some rock mixed in with your acid jazz?
Dr. Mombazo live delivers the high energy groove when you don't
feel like lounging. Check out these inspired performances by the paired down
Dr. Mombazo guitar, bass, and drums power trio.
No acid jazz just now, I want some tasty Down Tempo!
The music of Endless Loop is generated by two musicians that rarely
see the light of day. They live in a dark damp cave that is heated by their
overtaxed CPU's. The music of endless loop is strange and complex and takes
the listener on a long musical journey that starts in ambience, might pass electro
hip hop, makes a stop or two at trance, and then finishes in down tempo or dub.
Much more to come ...
Yes, we know that currently we are offering a meager and paltry number (currently
42, which by the way is the answer to the universe) of extremely high quality
acid jazz and down tempo songs at the moment , but please to be sure, there
is plenty more good stuff coming your way soon! You can contact the webmaster
