Simone – Jazz4all (XRCD24, Audiophile)

Jazz 4 All is the project of the sound engineer and owner of Stylus Audio & Video, Carlos R. Peniche. An amateur musician himself and a passionate admirer of the jazz of the roaring 20s, he united some of the best jazz musicians from Mexico City into a band. And all with one goal: to learn from the best. Since then, Jazz 4 All has played at least once a week in some location on site. Her repertoire ranges from swing to blues, bebop, bossa nova to bolero.

The ensemble consists of Carlos R. Peniche (bass), Joe D’Etienne (trumpet), Frederico Hülsz (tenor saxophone), Pablo Prieto (drums) and Carlos Gallegos (piano). None of them even rehearsed. Your music is always created directly in front of the audience or in the studio. They choose their setlist at most a few days before the recording days and improvise. In 2014 Simone was created in just eight studio hours, split over two days. Tohru Kotetsu took over the mastering in April 2017 in the JVC Mastering Center with the assistance of Kazuo Kiuchi.Simone Jazz4All – CD 4580247560209.
