JSngry Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Buddy of mine sends me this burn of a promo copy of a side called Bowling by a band called U-Street All Stars. Things got a Capitol logo on the promo sleeve, and a German EMI weblink. The band's good, actually, high-energy retro mod-bop. Nothing here (absolutely nothing) that you haven't already heard from (now) several generations of young cats who want to swing it like they used to, but there's a good vibe to the whole thing anyway. These cats sound like it's all fresh and new to them, so hey. Right on! Anyway, a little websearch shows that this is a Finnish band, and that this album was actually released on Blue Note Finland. WTF is Blue Note Finland anyway? And come to find out, the band's released two albums on this label! http://www.u-street.com/bio_eng.htm What's up with all this? The U-Street All Stars ain't gonna rock my world off its axis or anything, but they're a good solid band that gives good fun (the title track of the one I got features a drop of a bowling ball knocking down some pins. It works, believe it or not!). If BN America can hype Kerrie Anne Fisher (or whatever her name is) surely they can hype this. Many members of this forum would be well pleased by U-Street All-Stars! Blue Note Finland? What else they got? Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 This looks like EMI Finland's jazz page: EMI Finland Jazz Under the artist section, if you click "Näytä lisää", it looks like it brings up about 5 Finnish jazz artists, including hte U-Streeters. Quote
