Sunday Jazz 10th August 2008

Featured Artist - Eldissa

Eldissa’s classy arrangements and the obvious respect for the songs chosen add a deeper level of musicality in a genre where sometimes gimmickry and superficiality are paramount. With their debut album “What a Difference…” the subtleties in the music are allowed to seep through without stifling the sense of sheer fun and joie de vivre.

For those who enjoy a relaxed sophistication in their music, without requiring the all-too prevalent, world-weary cynicism that often accompanies it, Eldissa’s “What a difference…” provides a refreshing change.
