Caravan / Naima Feat Bembe Segue

MdCL covers two classic jazz standards with Bembe Segue on vocals... Duke Ellington's Caravan and John Coltrane's Naima. The first is a live recording flipping Caravan into a latin-breakbeat monster, and the second is a mellow ambient interpretations of Naima. Caravan was recorded in London early 2006 with MdCL on MPC3000 drums, synth bass, rhodes, piano and keys, Bembe Segue on lead vocals, Tawiah and Michelle Escoffery on backing vocals, D Fenda on guitar and Richard Spaven on live drums. It was performed and recorded live to 2-track. Naima was originally released on an obscure Japan-only compilation called The Wedding Collection. It is also featured here in its instrumental form.
