Djam Karet's new label Firepool Records has just released another CD, this time by the DK side-group Hillmen, titled The Whiskey Mountain Sessions. This album contains 43 minutes of instrumental Jazz-Rock/Fusion with Psychedelic influences. Totally improvised and recorded without overdubs, edits or compression at Topanga's Sea View Studios overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean, their CD features spacey atmospherics, strong grooves, soaring melodies and wailing solos, all wrapped up in a highly dynamic and crystal clear production. With Djam Karet members Gayle Ellett (Hammond organ and Rhodes piano) and Mike Murray (guitars), along with master drummer Peter Hillman and Ralph Rivers (bass) this album is filled with flowing compositions that grow and evolve over time. Rooted in Jazz and Fusion music from the 1960's and 1970's with more modern sensibilities added in, they have created a new hybrid style that is uniquely their own.
Discover for yourself the amazing music of Hillmen!
