Psychedelic soul-jazz-reggae as a successful live-trip

The seven-member musicians 'collective from New Zealand is in his home for almost ten years a "supergroup", in Europe more of a secret, however, emphatically' because who once Fat Freddys Drop fallen prey, the outs himself quickly as a big fan. The musical moderately classify Output of Combo genre falls really hard because only help so neologisms as perhaps "Hi-tech soul-jazz-reggae-dub-folk". The mainstays of their music are definitely reggae, soul and jazz. But otherwise it remains open in all directions. Electronic aids and DJ sounds also put themselves at the service of the cause and propel a song sometimes forward. Now we have even with a live album, recorded at London's legendary Roundhouse to do it. And that's really a trip. Reminds mighty in the 70s, so at session bands like Sweet Smoke. The XXL-length pieces of music between 10 and 16 minutes is typical Seventies. There come a legendary live recordings again to mind, of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, The Doors, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Stanley Clarke. The Fat Freddy sound also has this psychedelic jazz-rock attitude, without being a rock. A very successful and extraordinary live album (with innapropriate Cover), in which the instruments truly harmonize and one observes the players the fun. Here teamplay is paramount, no soloists orgasm. We would very much like to be there himself, surrender and completely collected and drop.
