Editorial Reviews :
Koop comes from a universe where Miles Davis never made Bitches Brew, replacing swing with funk, and instead double basses kept walking and jazz kept swinging all the way until the sampler arrived to chop it up. Not electronic music with a touch of jazz, but jazz sparingly laced with electronics. Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson, both from Sweden's main university-town Uppsala, now residing in Stockholm, were the first two jazzheads in their hometown to lose interest in the perpetual Hammond organ-licking of Jimmy Smith. Instead, they embarked together down the more rewarding paths of Hard-bop and raw Latin beats, avoiding fusion's tendency to dilute the original spirit of jazz. Waltz For Koop has been re-released by Palm Pictures with a added tracks and a bonus DVD, containing the acclaimed videos for 'Summer Sun' and 'Glomd,' as well as two remixes, 'Summer Sun' (Markus Enochson Remix) and 'Relaxin' at Club F***n' (Dorfmeister vs. Madrid de los Austrias Version).
Buyer Reviews :
We heard a selection from Waltz for Koop on the radio only a week ago, and decided to buy the cd. The selection we heard is 'Summer Sun', performed by Yukimi Nagano. This track brought back memories from when I went to the Montreal Jazz Festival in summer of 2000. Why I like Summer Sun so much is because it is the exact style of Jazz my preferences can relate to.
The packaging is beautiful, as well as the cool graphics on the cd. I never heard of Koop before 1 week ago, and must say that this is just another one of those perfect cds which will stay in near the stereo. It's also fun to have a cd player in the computer, because when I want to hear some good music, I just throw on Koop or any of the other great cds previously reviewed in my about me area reviews page.
The voice of Cecilia Stalin amused me enought to want to play the cd twice in 1 hour. There are two really genuine reasons for that. One is on account of the cd length. It is the type of cd that you quickly get into, and bam, before you know it, it's over. The second reason is that there are only 9 songs in the tracklist....
Not much more to be said about the cd, but will say that it is definitely worth a listening to and buying as a result.
