You are here (Nathan Haines) (LP 2685)

Nathan Haines  Right Now (CD, Haven Music, 2007) *** 

GenreJazz, NZ music

Places I remember: Shona Walding's collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Tell Me What You're Feeling

Gear costume: Home

Active compensatory factors: Nathan Haines is a NZ musician, a saxophonist/vocalist and producer. On Right Now he employs a variety of other voices - including Marlena Shaw.

It's modern jazz, with funky grooves and a drum and bass influence. Perfect music for a trendy art gallery or cafe.

I have no idea how good it is, but I would prefer more sax at times. And, colour me a traditionalist, I'd rather listen to jazz from the fifties and sixties, given the choice.

Where do they all belong? An album I'll come back to I suspect.
