The recordings to dago â€" sounds for a blue planet took place between 1995 and 2001 in ten different studios allover Europe with alltogether 13 musicians. The outcome of this project is something special: a groovy and pulsating instrumental mix of souljazz basslines (Steven Toeteberg/Béla Lattmann), sparkling guitars (Dagobert ‚dago’ Böhm), Soprano Sax and flute (Tony Lakatos), 5-string violin ( Zoltán Lantos) and a lot of exotic percussion by Kornél Horváth, combined with drumloops and sampled beats. The excellent sound is well-rounded with some vocal tracks. A Smooth-Jazz-World-Pop-Fusion-Chill Out Highlight! It is fun to listen to this new and not only instrumental music. For further informations: www.ozellamusic.com The Critics "There are some albums that grab your attention from the first second after you press the play button - that happened with this album, and especially the opening track Marrakesh Sunrise, a jaunty mix of worldbeats, samples, Arabic chants and guitar, sitar and sax. Great track and a good introduction to the music and musicianship of Dagobert 'Dago' Böhm. Track two is simply called Ozella and is a lovely melodic homage to his record label. Stay Awake follows and this smooth ballad with vocals by Angua Crash is one of those songs that has 'late night smooch' written all over it. Next is Cafe Au Lait, a sax-led tune that reminds me mightily of the late lamented Spyra Gyra, another band who could spin magic from their instruments. So four tracks in and the album is already appearing to be a classic. I don't really care how you classifiy it: world music, rock, jazz - this is an album that is NOT going to be removed from the player easily. Dago has put together a bewitching mix of world music influences, acoustic instruments [with a dash of electricity here and there] and real honest to God tunes that you end up humming. And believe you me, when you've heard as many albums as I have that is a rarity! The musicianship of Dago and his band is impressive, to say the least, and the overriding feeling is of smoothness and confidence. This is an album you'll never regret buying - it just gets better with each play!" John M. Peters the borderland Bohm is among a select few imaginative acoustic guitarists in jazz. Bohm’s work constantly is relaxed, picturesque filled with dreamy images. Merrill C. Lehrer, USA Today Check out the artist's website: http://www.dagobertboehm.com Track List: 1. Marrakesh Sunrise 2.
