The band originally took its name from the iconic 1960’s Jaguar, the E-Type, and this album is a tribute to some of the classic songs from that era.
Kick back and let yourself be transported back to the 1960's with this cool lounge-feel jazz tribute to a wonderful era in music. Recorded live in front of an audience, new covers album ‘Martini Blue’ by South Australian 5-piece Etypejazz showcases talents including Nina Simone, Sergio Mendes plus The Carpenters to name just a few plus a few original songs of their own.
Beginning with the toe tapping Yeh Yeh originally by Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames, sets the scene for the rest of the album. With the smooth vocals, its easy to get carried away with its funky repetitive beats and spectacular sax and keys solos and catchy lyrics.
Old favourite Mas Que Nado a sexy track and again including a sax/keys solo to die for. You could easily imagine listening to this track live in any jazz club to get everyone up and grooving.
The Carpenters classic Close To You brings it back with a soulful, bluesy sound and highlights the gorgeous bass. A beautiful stripped back version with a kick near the end it closes with stunning sax tones.
One of Nina Simone's most popular and iconic songs I Wish, an uplifting and inspiring track about the aspiration of living in a world without racism and segregation gets a funky soulful makeover with a gospel twist that could have you singing hallelujah by the end.
Highlighting the groups musical talents in all areas Here There is a dreamy, tranquil tune about love with its sensual tones full of emotion and grace.
Beginning with the raspy sounds of a record player, Heart Diamonds evolves into a silky ballad and then effectively turns into the infectious anthem Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend.
Spanish feel Alamore goes the latin path with a jazz flair before going to the sensual sweet track Nat King Cole's This Can't Be Love. A lovely track that got me swaying, making me wish I was back in that jazz bar. Closing with renowned classic Moon River, an elegant and most frequently covered favourite of many they really do it amazing justice.
