When Jazz Funk faded in the 80’s, and replaced by pop, new wave and break dance booming, there were some British groups re-emerged jazz style into a fresh, cool and happy rhythm. One of them was Swing Out Sister, and the other was Matt Bianco.

matt bianco, java jazz 2009, java jazzMatt Bianco is a group name, not a person. It seems like Matt Bianco is a personal name, often referred to the main member, Mark Reilly. But Matt is in fact “a made up spy, a secret agent, we loved spy TV themes and film scores”. The personnel are Mark Reily and Danny White and later on Mark Fisher replacing Danny White. There is another famous name in here, and yes, it’s Basia. Basia reached her stardom as a solo performer started from this band.

Matt Bianco served music in nice ear catchy jazzy tunes with cool Latin flavored music. Not only that, you’ll catch some feels of soul and pop in their songs too. The super hits Don’t Blame It On That Girl marked a great success worldwide, and then came Yeh Yeh, Fire In The Blood, Good Times etc. If you like Basia’s voice, you should listen to Half a Minute, the bossa beat in cool rhythm, that later used for Basia’s Promises, her super hits single in her solo career.

They were scheduled to perform at Java Jazz Festival 2008 back then, but failed to do so for some reason. Now, they are scheduled again at the next Java Jazz Festival 2009. If you like fresh, happy jazzy beat in latino flavor, samba/bossa/salsa, etc, you should not miss their performance at Java Jazz Festival 2009.

Matt Bianco is  scheduled to perform live at JAVA JAZZ FESTIVAL  2009. Don’t miss it! More infos coming up soon.
