The sounds of this mix by Karl Hector of Karl Hector and The Malcouns are culturally enlightening as an assorted plate of Jazz fusion from different parts of the globe. Try this out, it's good to give your ears a break from the sound of your particular world region once and awhile and see how other cultures interpret sounds, ideas and rhythms in music.



“Jazz Modal Du Monde” Mix is a look into the sound Karl and his band The Malcouns are inspired by and provide on their recently released project on Now Again/Stones Throw, the "Tamanrasset EP". Tamanrasset is a mosaic of Eastern and Northern African folk music, Western psychedelia, jazz and funk.
