About

A respect and love for the "out there" of Miles electric period, the fragile beauty of Sylvian and The Blue Nile, that filmscore you heard that said more or married the images into something else. The sound adventures of Eno, Hassel, & Brook. The exploratory jazz/dub of John Martyn.

Название шоу La Nouba происходит от франузской фразы "faire la nouba", что означает «кутить». Это сказка всех сказок, место всех таинств, где неразлучны прекрасные сны и ночные кошмары. La Nouba – это воспоминание, личное и всеобщее. Оно манит нас, призывает вспомнить давно утерянные нами волнения души. Здесь возможно все. La Nouba объединяет две группы персонажей. В течение шоу волшебные и красочные Циркачи вступают в схватку с бесцветным миром города. Но, как и в сказках, этот контраст - не более чем слаженное взаимодействие, которое распаляет любопытство и дает пищу воображению.Войдите в волшебный мир La Nouba. Здесь мечты становятся реальностью, и талант обращает заурядное в экстраординарное.

Jazz Album Of The Year -Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards 2006. In February 2006, the Nostalgia 77 Octet spent a week holed up in a cottage in the Welsh valleys rehearsing and recording ‘Borderlands’, their first CD album of original material.

Inspired by the sounds of funk, soul, gospel and Afro as well as the classic jazz LPs of the 60s and 70s, ‘Borderlands’ captures the warmth and atmosphere of the golden age without compromising Benedic Lamdin’s natural flair for tough rhythms and irresistible hooks.
