Notes
Primordial Jazz Funktet plays soulful intense jazz that tells stories. Singer Maya Azucena joins the Funktet for half of these tunes, mostly written by pianist Dan Furman. 'Merry-Go-Round' leads off the CD with a funky 7/4 feel. The band also reinterprets the lyrics to the classic 'Summertime' and presents a new take on's a Stevie Wonder classic, 'Visions.' The players take often exploratory and intense solos over the grooves laid down by Furman, Hernandez, and Padmore. PJF is: Maya Azucena, vocals Dan Furman, piano Joel Frahm, sax Yoshiro Okazaki, trumpet Alex Henandez, bass Luciana Padmore, drums.
