OUT NOW ::: MAMBO ATOMICO
Only one and a half years after the successful debut album THFO
strikes back. again, the tunes have been recorded live on a 16-track
tape machine, delivering an authentic and original sound. Although
the band consists of six men, one man is responsible for keeping
the group at performance peak when sideman leave and others take
their place - one man holds everything together and was responsible
for forming the group - the leader and sax/flute player, Florian
Riedl. Instrumentally, the sound effects and expressions are achieved
by the use of flute, saxophone, trombone, piano, congas, double-bass
and drums, a particularly good combination of instruments to gain
a great effect.
This album is not completey jazz-oriented, but it displays the variety
of the talents of the band. It will let you hear and feel what is
to be expected from them. the hi-fly orchestra are happening…
you can happen with them.
