Safari, the CD from Nairobi Trio, released in May 2004, is a collection of original tunes. The group explore a range of musical genres, taking you on a journey from the Scottish Highlands through the Caribbean to New Orleans and back to New Zealand.
With the addition of Jason Orme on drums the group reaches new heights.
Another eclectic collection of originals from these Auckland swingers that have become a sort of Hot Club d’ Aotearoa. This album has some great songs on it, songs that would grace any pop chart and, as always, the musicianship is superb – including some of the most extreme use of a wah-wah pedal I’ve ever heard! The fiddle playing of Richard Adams is occasionally reminiscent of Jean-Luc Ponty in sound if not entirely in style and the sax playing of long-time Nairobi-hanger-on Andrew Dixon is absolutely inspired. ‘Safari’ is an appropriate title as we get around a bit on this recording with every style from European style ballads to New Orleans gumbo. All in all a very pleasing album with an easy mix of instrumentals and strangely catchy songs.
