Massive injection of funk & soul combined with jazz, surf & klezmer
"At the beginning there is a long drawn-out scream "Yeah!" - and "yeah" is all the rest on the fourth album of the Latvian octet Very Cool People" (JAZZTHETIK magazine 07/2018)
Heya Some Kind Of Fish... represents pieces of a symbiosis between the different allied music styles - funk, soul, jazz, klezmer, Balkan & Latvian folk music. The album includes eight new tracks and a re-arranged version of the already well-known tune Hugo which had remained outside the group's albums until now.
“This to ourselves is a very interesting album where we mixed a wide range of musical influences. Just as Latvian geographic location is between Eastern and Western Europe this album's music is located in the middle of the different impacts”, say the members of the band about the album.
Heya Some Kind Of Fish… was recorded from the 25th to the 27th of July and from the 23rd to the 25th of October 2016 by Ivars Ozols at Sound Division Studio, Riga, Latvia. Mixed by Jon Evans at Brick Hill Studio, Orleans, MA, USA, and mastered by Don Grossinger at Don Grossinger Mastering, New York, NY, USA.
All tunes produced by E.Grafcovs, coproduced by V.Sprūdžs. All tunes arranged by Very Cool People. All horn aragments by E.Grafcovs & M. Jēkabons.
