Kiasmos - II. Faroese/Icelandic minimal experimental techno, in collaboration with Ólafur Arnalds. Beautiful ambient electronic soundtrack to this dismal July day.
I have probably posted this before but it does no harm to go again. One of the most important albums for me, I listened to it a lot at a significant time in my life in the early 80s.
Baltimore-born, Levy was already well regarded as one of the best up-and-coming jazz guitarists at the time of Simba’s release. Having toured with George Benson and Jimmy McGriff , as well as featuring on McGriff’s Black Pearl album on Blue Note , he went on to sign with Sonny Lester’s Groove Merchant. Produced by Lester himself and recorded over two back-to-back days of sessions in 1973, Simba features a who’s who of ‘70s session players. The album features the legendary studio drummer Steve Gadd, Cecil Bridgewater on Flugelhorn, bass by Tony Levin and arrangements by Manny Albam.
I have been happy with it once I accepted that it is not really a wireless device which was a disappointment first (now using the Ethernet connection which in my case means a cable on the floor). However, sound quality is great for such a small equipment.
Mine is first generation one though and I believe current model is better (improved) in every way.
