The album has had several reviews so far, in March 08 the Musicians Union mag 'Musician' described it as "..an oasis of calm and healing. Lovely" bbsradio.com: ""Stupendous voice! Everything works in harmony! I can't remember the last time I heard a voice and arrangements sound so magical, with such surreal beauty and melodic chemistry. Simply wonderful!" and consciousmedianetwork.com :"After a weekend listening to this wonderful album, reminiscent of a young Joni Mitchell at times, I cannot get it out of my head!"
Led by Liverpool born singer/songwriter Joanne Louise, these groovers have been gigging together for just over 24 months, coming together to work on Jo's songs and eventually to form "the Jetsuns".
The Jetsuns have performed at London venues such as The Jazz Cafe in Camden, The Rhythm factory, Cargo and Downstairs at the Washington in Havistock Hill.
In their new album they dish up a fresh funky dish made up of vamping electric guitar, soaring vocals, organic bass and tasteful garnish from the likes of trumpeter Byron Wallen (winner of the BBC Jazz Award for Innovation 03).
All this embellishing conscious catchy songs....
