Much more than just 'hot air'!
New grooves are coming out of Berlin. Another one of those jazz bands? No! As the name suggests, Mo' Blow offers more: Felix F. Falk and his musicians have captured a particularly energetic fusion of jazz, funk & groove on their album Funkatristic.
The band leader's original compositions, with their crisp intros, funky themes, tight breaks, and sophisticated unison parts, are both precise and straight forward. On the other hand, the many solo parts allow the musicians at Mo' Blow to move spontaneously and freely. This mix makes the music irresistibly lively and surprising, with a healthy dose of fun.
Felix F. Falk's cleverly percussive saxophone playing hints at influences like Joshua Redman or James Carter. With the targeted use of various percussion instruments, the band leader gives his pieces a special atmosphere. Whether it's giving "Count 17" its unmistakable groove with the didgeridoo or creating the floating sound of "Endless Escape" with an African udu, his approach is distinctive. His fellow musicians also demonstrate impressive skills, especially in their inspired solos.
Berlin saxophonist Felix F. Falk, who spent a year in Liverpool in 2002, founded the band SahneFunk there, the musical predecessor of Mo' Blow. With his clever groovy compositions, percussive saxophone playing, and the funky Fab-4 sound of his four English bandmates, the band quickly made a name for itself. Although the band leader's voluntary exile ended in 2003, the enthusiasm for the powerful fusion of jazz, funk & groove remained.
Felix F. Falk continued with new musicians in Berlin, and the band has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the hottest jazz-funk groups on the market, especially live. Now, the band has captured its musical energy, infectious playfulness, and even some of the impressive loop station improvisations experienced live, on their new CD.
