“Dinorah Dinorah is a cover of a cover, but George Benson’s version is the definitive one for us,” says the band. “It feels very Brazilian, and ours definitely has a Southern Atlantic, laid-back beach party vibe. Listening to someone like George Benson is how we all learned to talk, in a way. We’re just contributing to the musical pantheon and paying homage to one of the greats. This is feel-good music.”
Dinorah Dinorah effortlessly marries a driving house beat, claps and all, with masterful arrangement of piano, saxophone, and guitar, creating a modern classic in today’s age of jazz. Meticulous solos, relentless groove, and mesmerizing vocal effects serve as the guides on this sonic journey. The first couple of minutes sound like a bright and upbeat New York morning and by the end you’ve been transported to a sunset beach in Miami, staying true to the album’s theme of a musical expedition.
