Grand Pianoramix: The Biggest Piano in Town (Obliqsound)

Grand Pianoramix: The Biggest Piano in Town (Obliqsound) – Swiss keyboardist Leo Tardin masterminded Grand Pianoramax as a live keyboards/drums duo to be augmented by occasional freestyle spoken word improv/rap vocal guests. Teamed with NYC drummer Deantoni Parks (The Mars Volta, Meshell Ndegeocello), and vocalists Mike Ladd, Invincible, French rapper Spleen & poet Celena Glenn, plus Marko Djordjevic; they take unspent fuel from 1970s Herbie Hancock and blast off into a new orbit of jazzed-up future funk. Radio: Check the 2 stripped alternates and 5 sonically tailored remixes of “The Hook”. Highly Recommended.
