OUTTA SIGHT presents it’s first foray into the cult world of Cool Jazz
Cool Jazz is generally regarded as a relaxed, soft, laid back genre of jazz contrasting with the harder edged sound of the former bebop and hard bop styles. Here Outta Sight explores the genre and adds a little exotic twist of jazz tinged rhythm & blues and an atmospheric spoken word interlude by cult jazz cat author Jack Kerouac. Northern Soul and MOD fans will appreciate Mel Tormé’s classic “Right Now”, Willis Jackson’s “Good To The Bone” and Ray Bryant’s iconic “Sack O’ Woe”. But what could be more soulful than Art Pepper’s sax on the classic “’Round Midnight” or Art Farmer’s gut-wrenching trumpet on the hauntingly beautiful “Goodbye, Girl”. Open your imagination to Cool Jazz and be transported back to Greenwich Village and its vibrant loft party’s or the lonely, tawdry, neon streets of Los Angeles in the 1950s…
