Late to the Party on CD

If you like your jazz hot - really hot - The Fried Seven serve up some of the scorchin'-est 1920s-style jazz to be found anywhere. Weaned on classic records by King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and others, the Seven bring a youthful, virtuosic twist to their music-making that makes it all the more engaging and authentic. Based in Amsterdam, they have fast become favorites on the European jazz scene, playing to packed crowds across the continent and reaching thousands more through their cleverly-staged YouTube videos. Rivermont is pleased to present their debut album, Late to the Party, a collection of 1920s stompers (recorded on vintage analogue equipment in 2023) along with a few ballads that prove that the Fried Seven can play sweet as well as hot. The Fried Seven consists of: Pablo Castillo (cornet), Matteo Paggi (trombone), Marti Mitjavila (tenor sax and clarinet), Pepijn Mouwen (alto sax, clarinet, and arrangements), Cem Karayalcin (guitar, banjo), Simon Osuna (string bass), and Carlos Ayuso (drums). For this album, they are joined by special guest vocalist Laura Dooge. 12 tracks. 43 minutes.
