As an antidote to yesterday's Record Store Day madness, here's an opportunity to chill out to the Namas' 'Tonight' - the second album that is with us now and it's just as much a rich tapestry of modern jazz as their first!
This is a the Rennes trio of of Gaël Bourgeault (Grand piano, upright piano, Fender Rhodes, keyboards), Léo Debroise (Upright bass) and Victor Dubois (Drums) and 'Tonight' is perfect for a quiet, late or listening room one as they mellow out piano trio bad boys (like The Bad Pluse, BadBadNotGood etc) to a Dilla-esque cinematic orchestra.
The cinematic ambience created mostly by the range of Bourgeault's keyboard choices with particalarly emphasis on the jazzy Fender Rhodes to the classical grand piano.
The album consists of 7 instrumentals and one with vocals by Keysuna, the fittingly entitled 'Don't Rush' and it's alreay had plays on Gilles Peterson' 'Worldwide FM' show, Tina Edwards' 'Bandcamp Selects' show and featured by Laurent Garnier, Somewhere Soul (he of 'Rituals' - see review HERE) and Music Is My Sanctuary.
So if you've had a busy day and you're looking for a Saturday 'Tonight' luxury, check out the comfortable warm sounds of the Namas.
