about
Man said, let there be jazz. And woman said, come on baby lets dance.
There are a lot of ways to divide people in this world. Race, class, gender, politics, beliefs. But remember that opposites need each other in the most interesting of ways. Duality implies union. But it's a union by complementarity, not by similarity.
Divided for the chance of union.
lyrics
God said,
Let there be rhythm
And the Devil said,
Let there be Harmony
And God said
Let there be human
And the Devil said,
Let's split them in two
Man said,
Let there be towers in the sky
And Woman said,
Let there be dancehalls
And Man said,
Let there be Jazz
Woman said,
Come on baby let’s dance
God said,
Let there be berries growing around
And the Devil said,
Let there be gin
And God said,
It’ll make folks grin
And the Devil said,
Let’s call it sin
Man said,
Let there be taverns scattered around
And Woman said,
Give their horses some stripes
And Man said,
Let’s give them beer
Woman said,
Let’s make them sneer
In the end you'll see the Devil is nothing but God wearing a mask
And he'll toy with you in endless games
so that you may learn
the infinity of your names

Deon Bakkes and the Stolen Horses bring a new light to Gypsy Jazz that incorporates the classic blend of European gypsy melodies and 1930’s Swing, with a modern attitude rooted in Hard Bop Jazz and Rock ‘n Roll.
With its gradually-unspooling grooves and danceable beats, the debut effort from Swedish psych band Hollow Ship entices with every listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2020
