Description
2004's 'Camouflage' by Acoustic Ladyland rightly picked up plaudits from all quarters of the jazz world, showing an inventive and accomplished band forging fusions of jazz with other popular music forms. During the year since that record, the band has been working and refining its sound, so much so that on recent London showcase gigs they risked blowing their audiences right back into the venue bar.
A gritty, 70s fusion sound with distorted fender Rhodes sounds to the fore combines with inventive use of material and some highly accomplished musicianship (particular from star drummer Seb Rochford) to make 'Last Chance Disco' a real highlight among the jazz releases of 2005. Jazzwise's cover story on the band that ran in February quite rightly said that "All the rules have changed" in the contemporary jazz world and this album is comprehensive proof of that.
