Moca

Moca - Tempomat - 2006 - Blue Flame

Great album from Moca with a unique mix of downbeat funk, nu jazz, and soul.The 5 musicians from Germany combine music from the electronic box and handmade music: jazzy guitars, Hammond, Rhodes-Piano, synthesis and percussions.
"Tempomat" (German word for cruise control) is the long expected second production from Moca. 12 tracks settled somewhere between Downbeat, NuJazz, Electro and Pop but beyond all cliché, always groovy and danceable. For the first time Moca enriches its audio cosmos on three selected titles with the voice of the Australian singer Ingrid Campbell.Tempomat includes a sampling of famous tracks including Stanley Turrentine’s "Storm" and Wes Montgomery’s "Caravan". Features excerpts of an interview with Pee Wee Ellis & Fred Wesley.
