Default RICKERT & VESELY "Greenscapes" - SOBRA REC.

RICKERT & VESELY "Greenscapes"



Eclectic album from San Francisco's duo Rickert & Vesely.

SOBRA Recordings is proud to introduce Rickert & Vesely and their eclectic album.
A mixture of funky, jazz, bossa nova, breaks and latina.
The talented duo from San Francisco has put together a 7 traxx album for bar & lounges. Instructions for use : play and play and play and….

Greenscapes, the Rickert-Vesely electro-lounge collection and hymn to life on planet Earth, is a creative effort with a focus out past the edge of man’s proverbial camp firelight, weaving musical threads pulled from sounds inspired by the physical world. The result is their first release, a refreshing, grooving mélange of Jazz, Downtempo, and subtle Dub elements that channel the harmonious energy of the treetop canopy of a rain forest at dawn or the effortless float of a hawk in full flight.
Energized by the explosive growth of the Green Movement, R & V began sketching their musical ideas to add fuel to the cause. Rickert explains, this creative effort is a direct inspiration of the green movement and our desire to help with greening the planet. And as a way of giving back, 10% of all revenue generated from this studio project go directly to environmental organizations for green initiatives.
Lukas Vesely's highlighted gigs include the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival, the Hollywood Bowl in 1998 with world famous classical clarinetist Richard Stoltzman[RCA Victor], the CBS Early Show and two appearences on the Conan O'Brien Show with brother John Vesely/Secondhand Serenade, whose new record A Twist In My Story appeared at number 7 on Itunes. Also included are the luscious, scat vocals of Jeannine Bonstelle who's shared the stage with Brazilian virtouso Marcos Silva and also happens to be one of the former co-founders of Odwalla.

FEEDBACKS:
KEN CHRISTENSEN (ECB) – “One of my favorites this year. Finally some real music! Very Very dope, please send loads more! This cool music, reminds me of bugz "feel the cat", very much in the same vein, low slung square basslines in mono with nice rhythms and vox to fill in the rest of the spectrum. I am not sure what the african chanting has to do with feeding cats, but in this world, the best things are left unexplained.”

ANDY COMPTON (The Rurals) – “Wow! lushlushlush feeling it...thanks!”

RAPHAEL MORAES (Nomumbah) – “Thanks for the music, always good to receive original songs...”

Default reviews...

- RICHARD EARNSHAW –“Too much shit coming into my inbox these days!! Takes forever to go through that to get to the good stuff! Really liking the Sobra stuff.... full support from me as always!”

- DJ_KIK (Groove Session Radio Show / Univers DJ) - “I have heard the EP of RICKERT & VESELY. It's a cool lounge Ep!!”

-DEAN SERAFINI (JJazProject Magazine)- “This is a tasty treat with seven tracks to get your head round and ultimately enjoy. Having listened to the music it came as no surprise to read in the notes that this talented duo reside in San Fransisco. It seems that the West Coast in particular has become a breeding ground for artists who are prepared to break the mould. You can expect a fusion of jazz and down tempo vibes that I can wholeheartedly recommend and you are advised to check it out.”

-FRANCO MARTINELLI – “San Francisco duo Rickert & Vesley presents their new album on Sobra Recordings, "Greenscapes" is an intense collection of downtempo lounge freindly tracks, a brilliant misture of funky, jazz, bossa and breaks sounds. From the fresh and uplifting latin tinged tracks to the nocturne and underground jazzy cuts, this album provides some hot and quality music. “

-MICHAEL FOSSATI- “The first gem we would like to draw your attention is the eclectic "Greenscapes" project by San Francisco duo Lukas Vesely and Jonathan Rickert. Their album, a mixture of funky, jazz, bossa nova, breaks and latina, features seven wonderful productions perfect for the beauteous moments of life - I guess you get the idea... Featured guest artist include Jeannine Bonstelle and Joseh Garcia.”
