[QD-4218] : DAVID CHEN: Down WIth The New (EP)

Down With The New is David Chen’s second album and first collection of electronic-flavored music tracks. He combines elements of jazz, house, J-pop, Latin, and jam band, fusing them into a wicked combination of insane solos, and frenzied beats that no General MIDI sequencist would dare dream up. This is electronica/jazz fusion for the schizophrenic, at times lush and at times jagged.

FILE UNDER: nu-jazz, electronica, acid jazz, extreme General MIDI whiz-bangery, not your daddy’s jazz fusion
DETAILS: 5 MP3s, encoded at: 128 kbps. 44.1kHz stereo | Released: January 15, 2005
