"Danish/African quartet plays a seductive mix of jazz and
west-african music.
It might sound as a cliché, but it is nevertheless a fact,
that one cannot maintain ones hard fought-for and tightly
buttoned melancholia and expanding lunar-eclipse, while listening to this african inspired https://www.tradebit.com simply get -
whether you want it or not - in a happy mood listening to it."Rainbow Spirit" is not quite "pure" african music."Rainbow Spirit" is more of a mixture of modern european jazz and traditional west-african music. Gambian
kora-player Dawda Jobarteh and Ghanean percussionist Ayi
Solomon are quite central in the general sound-picture, but - I might say- quite as central are the two danes, Simon Spang-Hanssen on saxophones and flute and Thomas Fonnesbech on bass.

simple, easy to listen to and sometimes almost coy, but it also has profoundness,character and edge. This makes it worthwhile listening to - again and again."

"Rainbow Spirit" was born out of the desire of the leaders
to investigate a different soundscape and from a fascination with the kora and West-African music in https://www.tradebit.comt of the compositions could have been played in
other setting, but were arranged specifically for the sound of this group.
