The Amsterdam band Sinas is often compared to New Cool Collective. That is not surprising, because no fewer than four NCC Big Band members (Joost Kroon - drums, Wouter Schueler - sax, Frank van Dok and Jos de Haas - percussion) can be found in this band. The music does not differ that much either: tropical jazz with an overall festive character. All compositions are by Schueler, who took over the
… production together with Stefan Schmid (Zuco 103). By visiting a different part of the world with each piece, the title Global Explorations is truly fulfilled. Due to the energy, the clearly audible playing pleasure and the uncomplicatedness of the pieces, it will take Sinas (like NCC) very little effort to get through to the pop stages. To emphasize the hip character of the band, remixes of Kareem Raihani and Solo Moderna have been added as bonus tracks. (AD)more
