Vanessa - City Lips (1975)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, congas, bass, guitars, strings, woodwinds, flute, organ and electric piano.

This band released two albums if I am not much mistaken. Both of them will hopefully be re-released on CD before the end of the year in the Norske Klassikere (Norwegian Classic Albums) series later this year.

I got both their albums for review this autumn.

Vanessa gives us some jazzy fusion on this album. Saxophones, guitars and organs is the leading instruments. Their brand of fusion is slightly avant-garde and not so easy listening. The music is still pretty funky.

A good reference is The Soft Machine and their fourth to seven albums.

The music is decent enough and by no means a waste of time. This obscure album deserves some more attention. Attention now given.
