German nu-jazz project Club Des Belugas drop their sixth album, Forward,
with a host of guest singers on board for this silky smooth voyage
through jazz hooks and downtempo beats. "Straight To Memphis" for
example sees main men Maxim Illion and Kitty The Bill explore a Nina
Simone-esque swing, while "Peanut Vendor" evokes the big band bop of
exotica artists like Esquivel mixed with a South American bounce. A very
enjoyable mix of songs that take in everything from lounge jazz to
rootsy, bluesy stomps.
