Jazz from Buenos Aires

Gepel brings you original jazz from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The FMA now hosts Moducué, Gepel's album recorded, mixed and mastered in Casa Frida by Hernan Caratozzolo and Mariano Cuello.

From their official website:

Gepel is a trio founded in 2006. The music is characterized by its original way of playing different popular music languages from Latin America with the traditional jazz sound texture.

Regarding this release, Gepel writes:

Moducue is the first album from Gepel ('Moducue', meaning "Thanks" in Lucumí, a Yoruba dialect). All compositions performed in the album are original and each one of them is dedicated to a singular popular music language.

Surviving the Major Labels

Paul McCartney's review of the band after hearing this record and seeing them live

Steadman, formerly known as the Dharmas, is a melodic Brit-pop, alternative pop, rock outfit who can be compared to acts like Oasis, Garbage, Radiohead, and Suede.

The album REVIVE, now on the Free Music Archive, was originally released by Elektra, but rights were returned to the band. After big label hassles, the group was able to dissolve contracts and release their work independently on vocalist and songwriter Simon Steadman's label, Freeloader Recordings.

On hearing this album and catching Steadman live, Sir Paul McCartney raved about the band, writing the following:

The band STEADMAN have the SONGS, THE MUSICIANSHIP, THE ENERGY and the ENTHUSIASM to BLOW THE TOP OFF any CLUB of ARENA, and if given a listen, have that RARE quality --

the ABILITY TO DELIVER!

I LIKE THIS BAND!!

P. McCartney

Enjoy the entire record REVIVE on the FMA.
