| 2009, Compost. There was a persistent, smoky jazz flavor that weaved its way throughout Alif Tree's "French Cuisine". Vinyl crackles, dusty instrumentation and vocals from classic jazz singers like Nina Simone and Shirley Horn were a strong component to the sound. For his new album, imagine Alif has spent some time watching seasons of The Soprano's and discovering a more vibrant, trip-hop influenced personality to his taste in jazz. Just as with French Cuisine, this new album Clockwork explores a variety of jazz, blues and acoustic folk influenced phases. It's not often you come across the odd combination of DJ/producer/sound engineer/chef, but Marseille-based DJ Alif Tree is exactly that. Acid Jazz, Downtempo, Blues |
