Their new full length, Rhythm, Chord, & Melody is the perfect follow up to this EP. Track 2, Breathe Again, is disturbing yet deep and leaves you with a sence of having your emotions challanged. Track 4, Let it Go, is a groove and a half.

Well real good jazz after very long.The right kind of chords are touched by the artists.The numbers I liked the most are ,”Needle and Thread and Just Wait “.Yes this the kind of music that adds class to decent dinner parties.

I agree that it comes and goes in phases. It does evolve as well as it continues. It goes to show that even though you are known to play a certain style of music that those are just not what your influences are. Musicians listen to a variety of music styles and have their likes and dislikes just as the fans do.

Think about this….if you really take a close listen to American popular music starting in the Jazz Age of the 1920s and follow all the major trends – Swing, Big Band, Be-Bop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock ‘n’ roll, to Rock and all its branches, you’ll notice an “evolutionary” progression, especially since many artists we consider “rock” stars tend to listen to various genres and borrow liberally from them. A good – if perhaps silly – example: Metallica playing John Williams’ The Imperial March from “The Empire Strikes Back.” (Not a jazz tune, certainly, but it’s crossover appeal/cultural borrowing.)

Interesting Fardreamer, I never knew that. I’m not too educated when it comes to jazz history. Luckily though it didn’t die, or we all would be without some awesome musicians today.

It’s an odd tidbit of musical trivia, but it’s not surprising that some musicians in the “rock” genre now try to fuse jazz with rock. After all, jazz is the root of rock, which seems on the surface a strange notion, mayhap a delusional one even, but if jazz had died a quick death in the early 20th Century, all the other music forms that are derived from it wouldn’t be here.

I’m really vibing with this band. I’ve honestly never been a big fan of jazz unless it was mixed with some rock ( think Pink Floyd), and that sound is just so hard to pull off. These guys seem to do it almost flawlessly.

I really like this kind of jazz. I’m not a big fan of the genre, though I do have a few Sade cds lying here and there. These guys have a nice, refreshing sound though, the type that makes them acceptable in both clubs as well as elegant dinner parties. This is a very nice find, and something I can definitely mellow out to. I enjoy Needle and Thread the most.

“Just Wait” was the first song that I listed to of this band. I love the Jazz feel they have, but the style is a little bit more than just that. The Reign of Kindo with its unique Jazz sound and interesting name is something that everyone should give a try at least once. The vocals are excellent and his voice is very easy on the ears, which is important to me.

Although I too do not listen to a lot of Jazz this could be something that I would listen to more frequently then first thought.
