about

the second album from Dutch female trumpet virtuoso continues her amazing funky streak, combining hip jazz/acid jazz with dance music styles such as drum 'n bass, speed garage & big beat on all original cuts (except one tribute to Miles Davis) - she uses acoustic instruments in a unique way, soaking them with hip hop beats & booty shakin' dance grooves. This CD was recorded, just like its predecessor, in Studio De Boot by Rob Gaasterland. Collaboration include rapper Mellow Mac, singer Rosa King, saxophonist Candy Dulfer, bass player Lesley Joseph. and Senegalese vocalist Mola Sylla who participated on the song 'Leemou' which became finalist in the International Song Competition (ISC) in 2005.

Liner notes

It takes a special kind of talent to do exactly what you want and have it accepted by a great number of people, especially when you are working in a field where public acceptance is hard to come by. When jazz musicians have hits, sometimes it is because they popularize their style. Not so trumpeter, bassplayer, producer and composer Saskia Laroo. She’s not only a hardworking, sincere jazzmusician who is goodlooking, hip, popular and selling a lot of CDs from her selffounded record company Laroo Records, but she also stands for a very high musical level in the many different jazz directions she is going nowadays. Listen to the CD and agree with me! Hans Dulfer
