At the intersection of jazz and hip-hop sits Geneva group L’Orage, whose latest LP is a feast of bleary horns & big beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 22, 2022
This album is a fresh take on the long cross-continental dialogue between Black American jazz and West African popular music. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 19, 2020
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
