Quinteplus Compact Disc

$30.00

Founded after the “New Jazz Collective" movement in Argentina in the late 60’s, Quinteplus was a space for reflection and rehearsal to determine the paths that Jazz should take. An experiment with Folk genres in a Jazz key, and the exploration of African rythms, as a bridge between both musical worlds.
This set contains the only studio album they ever released (in 1972) and a a great bonus: a complete live at a gig from the same year, unreleased until now.
The record is a sophisticated exhibition of the musical cocktail that characterized the band -tunes composed by its members, fluent jazz language, experimentation with folk rhythms, funky touches by the amplified upright bass and electric piano, compact sound, great solos by the group´s brass players... The music sounds fresh, attractive, unprejudiced and dexterously played. A work ahead of their time.
Available on CD and double LP, both with complete band bio and liner notes

"Their jazz rocked, literally". HISPANIC MAGAZINE (USA)
"4/5" RYTMI (Finland) and EL PAIS - EP3 (Spain)
"Quinteplus are a good choice to close out the night when all dancing's through". EXCLAIM! (Canada),
