Auf „Bliss“ verrührt Eric Schaefer mit The Shredz den Fusion-Jazz der Sechziger, den Jazz-Dub der Neunziger und die Clubmusik von heute zu einem explosiven Gebräu. Das ist kein Voodoo, sondern Stil und Geschmack, Skills und Wissen, komplexe Kompositionen und improvisatorische Spielwut.

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.
