Description
City Jazz is a collection of re-imagined Japanese and Cantonese classics, which is a veritable journey through sonic styles and emotion, riddled with well-thought-out arrangements and creative interpretations that simply cannot be done any better by any other group of musicians.
As the main man/musical director/producer/pianist of 4te!, KRIZ B was quoted saying in a previous interview: "it's always a big challenge and not as easy as it would seem, re-imagining these well-loved classics; my task is to spin it 180 degrees yet maintain the melody and the spirit of the song," City Jazz is a very entertaining and well-rounded album for both the novice, casual listener, and has the rare ability - in its accessibility - to reach even the most discerning aficionado of the genre.
