Tenor, Jimi – “Out of Nowhere ” – [Matador Records]

Unabashed opulence…the glittery trappings
of lavish Ziegfield follies..as subtle as
a sequin, and like a sequin…dripping with
star power. This Finn huckster has designed
clothes, made peeculiar films(“The Urinator”
anyone?) and released a few ep’s and lp’s.
Here he works with Poland’s Orchestra of the
Grand Theatre Lodz, but this is no black-tie
affair, over in the wings there’s Prince,
Liberace, Equivel, Bobby Conn, and the Kids
from Fame. Fun to Funky. Sitars, singing saw,
congas, harp, electric guitars, vocoder,
jive-talking violins, Up-With-People choruses,
disco flutes. A big, happy hard-on right in
the lap of luxury!
