Mit viel Liebe zum Detail und tief verwurzelt im Soul, Jazz und Bossa der 60er und 70er Jahre präsentiert sich der unbedingt tanzbare, clubbige “Bahama-Sound”. Das lang ersehnte zweite Album „Bossa Nova Just Smells Funky“ bestätigt eindrucksvoll, dass die viel gepriesene große Zukunft für den BAHAMA SOUL CLUB inzwischen unüberhörbare Gegenwart geworden ist.
Ob New York, London, Mailand oder Tokio, längst feiern die DJ’s den „Sound of Summer 2010“ und zelebrieren die neuen Songs auf allen angesagten Dancefloors. Bekanntlich ist das zweite Album ja immer das schwerste, und so war es nach dem überaus erfolgreichen Vorgängeralbum „Rhythm Is What Makes Jazz Jazz“ eine besondere Aufgabe für Produzent Oliver Belz, jetzt nachzulegen. Der britische Kultmoderator Craig Charles von der BBC ließ es sich nicht nehmen, einen respektvollen Klappentext in das Album zu schreiben und bewundert das überaus beeindruckende Set von Gastsänger-innen: Pat Appleton / DePhazz, Xantoné Blacq / Amy Winehouse Band, Bella Wagner / Wien, Bajka / Berlin, John Turrell / London, Kojato / Monrovia, Sitzka / Rotterdam & A Secret interpretieren ganz individuell den „Bahama Sound“ und lassen dieses Album mit der Vielfalt ihrer außergewöhnlichen Stimmen zu einem unvorhersehbaren, spannungsreichen Musikgenuss werden. SOUL, AFRO-LATIN & JAZZ veredelt mit hippem BOSSA NOVA in knackigem Vintagesound. Perlen für die Ohren. Auflegen, abheben.
I first heard this outfit when they had just started posting music on their myspace page, since then I have been a massive fan! But then again, the main man behind The Bahamas, Oliver Belz, has a very fine pedigree having been one of the prime movers behind the wonderful JuJu Orchestra. His debut album as The Bahama Soul Club, Rhythm Is What Makes Jazz Jazz was hardly ever off the show, and was one of my favourite albums of the year in 2008. But the big question is after making such a mark on his debut, can he deliver on that diffcult second album. All the signs are there as he has retained some of the vocalists from the previous album such as Berlin resident Pat Appleton and Bella Wagner from just over the border in Austria, and to augment that very solid base he has also drafted in the combined talents of two of the finest vocalists in the UK, Xantoné Blacq, and one of my personal favourites John Turrell who was recently voted on my show as lead male vocalist for the UK Fantasy Funk Band.
From the start, this album slips into gear with the superb jazz cut that is King s Wig to the last knockout punch of the dancefoor monster Nassau Jam I can tell that Oliver has lost none of that Midas touch. There is something quite unique and mesmerising about the sound of The Bahama Soul Club, it is a gumbo in the best sense of the word, throwing in Bossa, Soul, Afro-Latin, and Jazz all into the pot and coming up with a sound that is both immediate, timeless, and above all has the sun shining through every single tune. The question I asked earlier was, does he deliver on the difficult second album and the answer has to be a resounding YES! Make a friend of this album as, believe me, it will be friend for life, it is that good and probably one of the best Jazz albums in 2010. Craig Charles, June

Rezensionen
"Wer Nicola Conte mag, The Five Corners Quintet oder die Café-Drechsler-Sounds, der wird sich ohne Umwege sofort in das Album des talentierten Mister Oliver Betz verlieben. Angestaubte Schweineorgel-Sounds werden gepaart mit unwiderstehlich tanzbaren Beats, rasender Walkingbass mit extra auf Altvinyl produzierten Bläsersounds, die wie geloopt wirken, die aber echt eingespielt wurden." (computerbild.de)"Los! Tanzen! Der gelungene Mix aus Moderne und Nostalgie duldet keinen Widerspruch." (Stereoplay 10/2010)
