Jimi Tenor´s first Album release on Kitty-Yo „Higher Planes“ (KY03066CD/LP+7“) has already been perceived as
Genre spanning masterpiece. Together with the finnish Big Band UMO, Jimi Tenor had send us on a trip to the past, Jazz, Psychedelic, Rock and Funk had been purified for the present and the future.
“Beyond The Stars“ is smoother, but still stimulating for comparisons, Zappa, Soundtracks of the 70ies, Softpornos, Spike Jones, Sun Ra and many more.
But it is less a tribute to the past, more a personal evaluation of significant sounds, that were combined to a homogene, soulful and happy album
Jimi was Inspired by the singing of birds, little waves of finish lakes and especially by the singing and drumming of the Barcelona Buddhist community that is based next to Jimi´ s appartment. and probably by one or two glasses of Caxa. |
