| Description: | Blueys viertes Citrus Sun-Album für Dome, das entzückende â??Anacongaâ??, ist eine Hommage an die Jazz- und Soul-GröÃ?en von damals. Das Album beginnt mit dem groÃ?artigen Maynard Ferguson-Titel â??Mister Mellowâ?? aus den Siebzigern, der von Tony Momrelle und Deborah Bond gesungen wird. Citrus Sun ist Blueys eher instrumental orientiertes Nebenprojekt, das neben Incognito läuft und bei dem viele der gleichen Musiker mitwirken. Die Band veröffentlichte ihr erstes Dome-Album â??People Of Tomorrowâ?? im Jahr 2013. In den USA haben sie mit â??Mas Uma Vezâ??, â??Calling Mr Wolfâ??, â??Hard Boiledâ?? und â??Thinking of Youâ?? vier Smooth Jazz-Hits gelandet. Sie sind live in den USA, Japan, dem Vereinigten Königreich und einer Reihe europäischer Länder aufgetreten. - Anaconga by Citrus Sun"Anaconga" is a groove-driven CD by Citrus Sun, a project led by renowned guitarist and producer Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, best known as the mastermind behind the legendary acid-jazz and soul collective Incognito. On this album, Citrus Sun blend warm jazz-funk, soulful grooves and laid-back Latin colours into an uplifting, melodic sound that feels both sophisticated and accessible. Tight horn arrangements, fluid guitar lines and a deep, organic rhythm section create a sunny atmosphere that works equally well for attentive listening and as a tasteful backdrop for relaxed evenings or stylish gatherings. The production focuses on real-instrument feel rather than electronics, giving "Anaconga" a timeless, high-quality character that will appeal to fans of classic fusion, smooth jazz and contemporary soul.
Citrus Sun serve as a more instrumental, jazz-oriented outlet for Bluey, contrasting with his vocal-heavy work in Incognito. Known for his role in shaping the British acid-jazz scene since the late 1980s, Bluey has contributed to acclaimed albums and international tours that have brought modern soul and jazz-funk to a broad audience. With Citrus Sun, he channels that experience into richly textured compositions and arrangements that showcase the band's musicality while maintaining a relaxed, feel-good vibe throughout "Anaconga".
The CD is released by Dome, a respected UK-based independent label with a strong focus on soul, R&B and contemporary jazz. Dome has become a trusted home for quality black music, supporting artists who combine musical depth with accessible songwriting and audiophile-friendly production. Their catalogue is known among connoisseurs for consistent sound quality and carefully curated signings, making "Anaconga" part of a lineage of sophisticated modern soul and jazz releases.
For listeners seeking a high-class blend of jazz-funk, soul and mellow grooves, "Anaconga" offers an inviting, cohesive listening experience that rewards both casual enjoyment and more focused, hi-fi appreciation. |
