Funcoolio is a jazz fusion quartet from Latvia that plays sonic games with the local jazz traditions of earlier times, but does not forget about these days as well. Released on cassette at the very end of 2021, now the album is also released on vinyl, which is the most authentic format for it.
A light old-school feeling is intertwined with the modern musical coquetry and sometime jamming, as the Latvian quartet plays together with internationally known local saxophonist Deniss Pashkevich, as well as colleagues from France (saxophonist Fred Hormain), Germany (flautist Ilja Gussarov) and the United Kingdom (Rhodes piano player Michael Kasper).
The main author in the band is the experienced guitarist George Panfilov, bassist Denis Gradalev also joins in writing, and Hammong organ player Vladimir Tuzov and drummer Yuri Osipovich add pretty colorful accents. If you are also interested in Vol. 1, then look back to 2014.
