{"product_id":"les-hommes-st","title":"Les Hommes - S\/T","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLes Hommes, London’s hottest Hammond organ jazz beats trio, have been playing the underground scene for a couple of years and have now achieved mainstream press and radio recognition from the selected few in the know. The band consists of Rory on Hammond, Tarek on vibes, Moog and percussion and Vlad on drums. Their live set is a collection of their own compositions ranging from organ grinders to kicking bossas and spaced-out beat numbers. Their gigs are testament to their style, no-one can resist the urge to get up and get down. Given the range of influences they bring together, their sound is hard to encapsulate, and as a result terms like groovy and swinging spring lo mind. But their influences run deep ranging from the progressive organ recordings of Big John Patton to the cool Brazilian sounds of Walter Wanderley and bossa nova. Add a touch of 60s Italian soundtracks and some Latin Licks, then throw in some wild \u0026amp; crazy breaks, beats and electronica and you have a blueprint for the Les Hommes sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second full-length recording captures a cool, acid jazz sound while still maintaining the definitive Eighteenth Street Lounge feel. The three-man, three-woman outfit could be likened to \u003c\/span\u003ethe Cinematic Orchestra\u003cspan\u003e in organic preservation of live instrumentation within their modern sound, but succeeds in embodying all the crucial aesthetic components to still fall in the electronic record bins. Classic-sounding organ lines by Rory More dance around the \u003c\/span\u003eRon Carter\u003cspan\u003e-sounding upright basslines and the incredible lounge\/swing of drummer Vladimiro Carboni. A nice step by ESL to further blur the lines between Groove Holmes and \u003c\/span\u003eJazzanova\u003cspan\u003e and a warm and seductive listen all the way through. — via Label\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1bnipl2AgFtvg2gtZirWQU?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Schema\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 45 RPM, Album\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2002\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic Jazz, Latin\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Smooth Jazz, Latin Jazz, Broken Beat, Easy Listening\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Soul-Jazz \/ Jazz-Funk\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45053894492318,"sku":"801834411331","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a2969068333_10.jpg?v=1738315787","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/les-hommes-st","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
