In the good ol days of music, when they recorded a band, they recorded the band…everyone…in the studio…playing together…and recording together at the same time…luckily, there are some artists that are also purists, like Ari Joshua‘s RAAR Trio.
The trio’s line up is Ray Paczkowski, Russ Lawton and of course Ari Joshua and they are based in Burlington, VT, USA.
Taking us back in time, where the music was recorded as if it was a jam…Ari Joshua‘s Trio are releasing the full uncut jam of their upcoming track “Kambo Wambo”…this is “Kambo Wambo Extended Version”.
“Kambo Wambo Extended Version” is an extended loose jam from the band’s studio session…it’s an astounding 19 minutes and 18 seconds of pure musicianship.
Mixing psychedelic, soul, rock, afrobeats, funk and contemporary music, the trio manages to successfully and easily take us to a more musical time, a more pure form of music fully depending on the synchronicity and musical understanding between the musicians…if you look at the time of 19 minutes, you might think “this is a jam”…but if you listen to it you’ll know that it’s a fully fledged musical experience with all the elements and nuances of an instrumental masterpiece.
The organs and keyboard are 70s delight, licks and solos fill and soar high above…the drums is a chameleon, shifting from a beat to another, from one mood to another is the blink of a drum fill…the guitars’ funky mood is like a wave in the ocean that keeps us moving and bobbing our heads above the waters…and let’s not forget the groovy bass lines that acts as the backbone of this experience.
The guitar and organ keep trading places…and the bass oversees everything.
Solos go back and forth between the guitar and the organ.
“Kambo Wambo Extended Version” is like a short movie, it’s more of a musical experience that it is of a track…filled with melodies, harmonies, many beats and groovy bass lines, it’s a one-of-a-kind musical experience that takes you close to the action, to the musicians…actually close enough to be in the studio with them.
“Kambo Wambo Extended Version” is a hybrid between a studio recording and a live show…it’s many things, but one thing that’s sure…it’s not to be missed.
We can’t wait to experience more music from the Ari Joshua‘s RAAR Trio…we wish them all the best in the world, they are simply brilliant.
Cheers!
