Get A Load Of Tuba Cop From The Musical Supergroup The Near Jazz Experience

The Near Jazz Experience 

Tuba Cop 

London 

 

London’s The Near Jazz Experience are preparing their album launch as we speak, the new record will be called Tritone and contains today’s track, Tuba Cop. The record features the amazing skill of Jamiroquai’s Matt Johnson and Bowie keyboardist Mike Garson. Out on Peckham’s Dimple Discs on the 18th of July, the vinyl and CD options are collector pieces before they’re on the shelves. The digital album comes out on 27th of June so we can all get a good listen in before the post arrives. Comprised of Madness bassist Mark Bedford with Simon Charterton and Terry Edwards from The Higsons, who were made extra-famous when Robyn Hitchcock wrote a song about them, the level of experience and professionalism in this band is through the ceiling. Multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards is known for playing two saxophones at the same time, which is something I’m sure we’d all like to see yet alone hear. Let’s get a blast of this Tuba Cop.  

 

Organic room drums open the music with a rattle and slosh rhythm that takes us into venues from yesteryear. Wind instruments and synth begin to curl outwards like a proboscis from colourful beating wings. The chunk of the bass digs deep holes in the mix as the harmonising chords from the synth reveal higher patters that adjacently twinkle. Swerves of wind then create an avenue of story in sonic form as the persuasive sensations enter the mind and create images of snooping around, looking for clues. The jazz feels are everywhere, from the pulse of the rhythm and the chitter chatter drumming to the chord selections and mosaic melodies that create pictures all their own.
