If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!First time reissue of Quinteplus’ self-titled album (1971) in its original eight tracks single album format, bringing back a vital chapter of Argentine jazz history, revealing a band that was truly ahead of the curve and still resonates powerfully today.
The band was a short lived jazz unit that grew out of Agrupación Nuevo Jazz (New Jazz Collective), a loose organization in the late '60s that provided an open environment to experiment with Argentine folk genres in a jazz mode. Most tracks feature crisp trumpet and tenor sax up front, confidently led by electric piano parts that open things up with a sharp mix of funk and modal influences. The rhythm section shines as well-the drums and bass are tight and punchy, yet they leave plenty of air, creating a spacious feel that at times brings to mind the classic Cannonball Adderley and Joe Zawinul soul jazz sound. The record is a refined showcase of the band's musical vision: original compositions, fluent jazz language, folk-derived rhythms, funky electric textures, tight ensemble playing, and standout brass solos. Though critically praised, the album received little label support and sold modestly, eventually becoming a sought-after collector's item. Back on classic black wax now![info sheet from distr.]
