Editorial Reviews

Josef Woodard, Down Beat, 6/8/00

This is an impressively moody, groove-y, and crisply recorded cd. The closest point of comparison is the Yellowjackets in their more bittersweet, urban mode.”

Product Description

Urban Nation plays a smooth blend of jazz and latin-rhythms with beautifully soulful melodies and colourful chord voicings. The sometimes dream-like character of a song will change into a more distressed mood and smooth grooves trade with syncopated and funky rhythms. The CD features a special guest performance by Brazilian singer Flora Purim and a samba arrangement of the song "Ueber den Wolken" (Above the Clouds) by renowned German songwriter and singer Reinhard Mey.
