"a wonderfully textured NuJazz project from musician/producer Jack Grunsky... COASTLINES will transport you to a relaxed, yet stimulating world of jazz trumpet, bold bass, provocative piano, cool beats, sensual rhythms and sophisticated melodies. The Canadian artist (who has lived on both sides of the Atlantic) has created a concept project here to form a musical travelogue if you will. With every listen you'll be visiting the city streets and cafes of Toronto, New York, Paris as well as the majestic coastlines of the Mediterranean. The mood and atmosphere of these destinations has been captured in songs like, "Down The Boulevard", "Cote d'Azur", and "Costa Del Sol". I'm into hybrids....A little of this, a little of that, and you have a lot of some cool blend. COASTLINES is definitely a cool blend of jazz, world, ambience and chill with a comfortable vibe that explores the depth of the musical elements that comprise Grunsky's unique style. Favourite tracks include the mysterious and moody, "Midnight Train To Paris", the inviting and smooth, "Down The Boulevard", the groovy "Big Bass Lounge" and the campy, "Cote d'Azur" which includes sound effects from French scooter girls and seagulls.
