I Need – Akh-Point

“Let’s hit the beat!” This track reminds me so much of “Mushroom Hunting” by The Seatbelts (who heavily sampled their song from DJ Food’s “Let the Good Shine”). It’s got that same sort of feel that so much acid and lounge jazz carries: deep latin flavors, rich guitars and keys… all that’s missing is the horns and it would be complete!

Anyway, you can download this song and the rest of Akh-Point’s album, “Too Close”, on Jamendo.

Boys, Girls, Toys & Words – Modern Pitch

Modern Pitch is a Alt-Rock band from Italy with a taste of the modern indie sound. They’ve been playing since 2010, but have only been on the Creative Commons music scene since June. So far, so good. Today’s song comes from their EP “Eye of the Storm”, which you can download on Jamendo.

Dove and Eagle – Régis V. Gronoff

We bring back an artist from Classic Sounds of the Commons for another solid jazz track. Régis V. Gronoff does it again with his 2009 album “Strange Boat, Strange Cargo” which explores the history of jazz, from bebop to modern fusion. “Dove and Eagle” is a tribute to Sonny Rollins, a legendary saxaphonist whose songs have a habit of becoming jazz standards. You can download the full album at his BandCamp page for free, though it’s name your price, so I encourage you pay a little something for the album.
