They were together from 1976-2006 and was led by band leader Michael Moore. The members were, Steven Bentley ~ Drums, Connie Bunyer ~ Clarinet, Guitar, Vocals, Paul Hjelm ~ Guitar, Bass, Trap Drums, Piano, Steven Luceno ~ Bass, Guitar, Michael Moore ~ Keyboards, Michael Olson ~ Percussion, James Pribbenow ~ Saxophone, Vincent Soluna ~ Sax, Vincent Soluna ~ Sax\u003cbr\u003eTom Russell ~ Sax, Flute and Walter Thomas Russell ~ Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, Piano, Guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey recorded 5 albums over the period of 30 years.  One track of which “Willow” you will find tucked on the B side of this lovely new release. We wanted you Kats to have great value for money and pack the record with two stone wall Dingwall style killer recordings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A side “Blink Samba” was recorded at Russian Hill Studios San Francisco in July 1983,  after the group made the long journey down from Olympia and back to record a whole Lp that has lay unissued since 2023 only getting a digital release.  We stumbled across the tracks whilst doing some research and was blown away.  A few chats with member Michael Olson and we knew these had to be on vinyl.  They are pure fire jazz with a slightly latin Esq vibe. We can almost see the sweat dripping from the Jazz dancers as they cascade to the rhythm of the percussion “Blink Samba”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlip it over whilst the floor is still rocking to the track “Willow”  Unlike “Blink Samba’s opening percussion this one kicks in straight away with a rasping baseline.  You hold on to the bars like you been strapped into to a rollercoaster and get ready for the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853721850094,"sku":"SDE72","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/7911\/7425\/files\/LBL_b96ffb4b-ebe4-4243-b5ac-b49bf46ee871.png?v=1754273495","url":"https:\/\/luv4wax.com\/products\/obrador-blink-samba-b-w-willow","provider":"Luv4Wax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
