For a beautiful jazz-funk offering from Porto collective, you need Fatspoon's 'Pensei Ser Sensei' that features some really impressive musicianship throughout, offering a superb taste of the emerging Portuguese scene.
The album is produced by Miguel Pinto and André Indiana and performed by Jake Miagra, David Bruno, Bruna Moreira, and Tiago Nacarato, with vocals by Edu Mundo (Fogo Fogo, Cordel) and Helena Neto (Expensive Soul) over a two year period.
With the benefit of Latin and Prince influences, this is a real funked up pot of jazz-rock
grooves with the benefit of experimentation like the strings on 'Erótico & Sensual' featuring David Bruno or the 8 minute live recording of the track, 'Slide'.
With the organ tuned in to a Brian Auger vibe with the full-on horn section a la New Orleans funk blues, 'Stride' is the stand out track.
Apparently, there's more to come and if you're in the area of Porto's go to venue, Mr. Bean's, look out for the Fatspoon jam sessions.
