Ses Rodes Revisades [2LP]

Jazz N Palms - Ses Rodes Revisades [2LP]

Two years after Jazz N Palms served up his sumptuous "Ses Rodes" album, the Ibiza-based Italian is back with a series of 'Revisades', which means reviews. Each track on this double 12" takes the original instrumentals into fresh realms with new mixes, new drum arrangements, and the recovery of old takes not used on the original album.

The Jazz N Palms label and producer is Riccio, an artist who makes lush jazz-fusion, jazz dance, Balearic, and downtempo instrumental music. "Ses Rodes" was inspired by the quiet, organic, slower side of Ibiza. It was written with young, talented local musicians that Riccio met at a jazz night at the famous Pikes hotel, and the record harks back to the island's beautiful natural charms that have been captivating visitors for hundreds of years. 'They didn't ask me, but I did it anyway,' he says of these magical new "Revisades".

The reworks kick off with a smooth, but busy, broken beat rework of 'Manana', which is doused in romantic chords. 'Mediodia' becomes a jazz-funk gem, 'Tarde' picks up the pace with silky disco licks, and 'Noche' glows warm with dreamy pads and soft focus vibraphone. The gentle grooves of 'Mar' are led by a sexy sax line and intimate interplay between funky bass and jazzy keys, 'Playa' is loved-up, sun-down bliss, 'Bosque' is an irresistible invitation to dance and 'Cielo' is a rich tapestry of horns, keys and percussive patter to soothe the soul.

With its deeper textures and looser grooves, "Ses Rodes (Revisades)" is a love letter to Ibiza's slower side and healing spirits.
