Less than 2 years after the release of \u201cKarma Obscur,\u201d which had brought him all over Europe (Norway, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Slovaquia, France) for more than 30 shows (NattJazz w\/Cory Henry, St Emilion Jazz fest w\/Maceo Parker, Boerderij\/Zoetermeer, MAI\/Nancy, Bordeaux w\/Greg Howe\u2026),\u00a0Shob is back with \u201cSolide,\u201d 11 Fusion\/Afro\/Funk tracks which will be released on May 3, 2019 (Inou\u00efe distribution\/La Route Prod). On April 15,\u00a0 SHOB and his musicians will be playing at London’s famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club opening for guitarist Scott Henderson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cSolide\u201d showcases 11 tracks with Afro\/Punk colors (Hostile, Vertige, la Br\u00e8che), Hip Hop moods with heavy brass riffs (Totem, M\u00e9moire), or even Electro\/80’s sounds (Solide). The whole thing led by the powerful and precise drum parts of Morgan Berthet (Myrath, Eths, Kadinja), who also performed on the first two albums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Rocky and funky guitars are amazingly played by the two newcomers: Johary Rakotondramasy & Jean Lou Siaut, who are also on stage for live performances. There is even some New Orleans color with the really fresh track \u201cCure,\u201d which reminds one of John Scofield’s best moments (guitar played by Christophe Maroye).\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brass section with FM Moreau & PJ Ley gives the album a strong Funk and Afro beat influence, reminiscent of Fela Kuti, Maceo Parker, Trombone shorty or Ibrahim Electric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Finally, the wild and groovy percussion played by Ludo Lesage bring a real \u201cback to the roots\u201d ambiance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Except two tracks with vocals (\u201cSolide\u201d w\/C\u00e9lia Marissal & \u201cTotem\u201d w\/Lyne & Hugo Senbei), the album is mainly instrumental and leaves a great space for improvisations, with solos on every track. The songs on \u201cSolide\u201d were specifically written to be played live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Again, it’s a really mixed variety of music that SHOB and his friends will be playing on stage from April 2019 through an European tour which will bring them to Germany, UK, Austria, Latvia, Poland and France.
Tour line up:<\/strong> SHOB (bass), Simon Renault (drums), Tony Lavaud (key), Johary Rakotondramasy\/JL SIaut (guitar) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
