Tribaljazz - "Violet Love" feat. Michael Franti -
Check out the first single to Tribaljazz's self-titled album "Violet Love" featuring Michael Franti.
John Densmore has been telling people he’s a jazz drummer since his days with the Doors; he finally gets to put his sticks where his mouth has been with Tribaljazz. The Los Angeles-based collective releases its debut album date October 17 on Hidden Beach Recordings.
As their name implies, Tribaljazz combines Densmore’s love of the classic Jazz of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with the global rhythms he’s explored since his first recordings with the Doors (their hit “Break On Through” was inspired by the Bossa Nova beat of “The Girl From Ipanema”) through the Middle Eastern grooves heard on last year’s “Ray Of The Wine,” his collaboration with Master Persian musician Reza Derakshani.
