Description Of Music
Both tunes on this release are original compositions: Hi-Fly Stomp is
an uptempo jazz-dance tune, just perfect for the dancefloor. Chris' energetic
piano pattern is like an unstoppable train engine at high-speed. Shake
a leg but only if you are able to keep the rhythm, it's nasty!
Gettin' Down , written by founder of THFO Flo Riedl, is dedicated to Boogaloo Sam, the inventor of the boogaloo dance. It features solos by saxophone and percussion, especially the percussions go crazy, most likeley as crazy as the people on the dancefloor. Well done!
