O.K. Jazz - The Loningisa Years 1956-1961 2xLPAfter the two earlier releases on Planet Ilunga, focusing on the orchestras African Jazz and Rock a Mambo, it makes perfect sense that a third album should explore the treasures of that other major school of popular Congolese music.

Jazz was the home of outstanding musicians such as

Miles Davis

"The World Of Shells" works as an dream expedition that has overflowed itself into real time

dreamlike patterns are enriched by carefully placed notes and tones

Manek’s supple percussive reverberating basslines and Karmel’s painterly synth washes
