Jah Wobble / Momo Project - Maghrebi Jazz

2018 release. Maghrebi Jazz, influenced by, and impregnated with, the dusty desert sounds of north Africa's Berber territories, is a collaboration between Wobble, three-quarters of his current Invaders of the Heart band - Mark Layton Bennett (percussion and drums), George King (keyboards) and Sean Corby (trumpet and flugelhorn) - and the MoMo Project (AKA Music Of Moroccan Origin), a now-London-based duo of Tahar Elidrissi (vocals, percussion, gimbri) and Hussan Nainia (guitars). Maghrebi Jazz comprises five long songs, allowing for plenty of loose improvisation around a tight musical foundation: The Invaders have the technique of jazz players, skillfully elaborating on themes while Wobble's bass underpins everything with it's visceral heartbeat. A perfect mix of Wobbles classic bass sounds with Saharan desert /North African music influences.
