ALIF TREE - BELLE


ARTIST / BAND: ALIF TREE
SONG (MP3): BELLE
ALBUM: French Cuisine
FILE UNDER: downtempo electronica
LABEL: Compost Records

INFO: Even without contributions from jazz vocal greats Nina Simone and Shirley Horn, Alif Tree's third full-length album "French Cuisine" is an instant down tempo jazz classic. From its solemn opening track "Deadly Species" featuring Nina Simone, to the sheer French beauty of "Belle" featuring Anna Karina, the mind-blowing double bass groove of "Forgotten Places" featuring Shirley Horn, or the melancholy Latin melodies of "L'Amor Nunca Meura", Alif Tree present an utterly exceptional album.As a musician (guitar, voice, keyboards, percussion), Alif is a fervent defender of acoustic sounds, from philharmonic music to Pop via Jazz and World Music.
