Bliss - CD
- Format: CD
- Cat No.: ACT 9818-2
- Barcode: 614427981820
- German Release: 18/03/2016
On “Bliss”, Eric Schaefer and his band The Shredz blend the fusion jazz of the sixties with the jazz dub of the nineties and the club music of today to concoct an explosive hubble-bubble of a magic brew. It’s not Voodoo. It is merely style and good taste, skills and know-how, complex compositions and improvisatory passion.
