Release Date: 2006-03-27Label: Tam Tam Studio Recordings
Recorded, mixed and mastered at Tam Tam Studio (Italy). Produced by Tam Tam Studio Recordings."MopMop...a bastard performance of modern jazz based on riffs looped almost till/to monotony..." (from Nestor Ortiz Oderigo, Dictionary of Jazz-PBR 1961).
From this definition, the emerging Mop Mop find inspiration for their debut album, merging their characteristic sound; vibes and piano, rhythm and exotic percussion, improvised jazz, italian melodies and hint of electro-vintage.
"The 11th Pill" is above all a mix of latin-jazz, frenetic swing and ballads, respectful to its historical roots from which it is inspired (there are numerous citations), but in a way also "dancefloor-oriented" succeeding perfectly to combine mediterranean melodies and afro-american beats in a unique modern jazz interpretation.
