United Future Organization - Bon Voyage, Mercury, 1999

United Future Organization trio is back with yet another blend of Jazz and electronica in elegant style. This album brings their further diverse influences of various sounds, from Cuban, flamenco, funk, and vocal Jazz. Yet, the trio manages to keep tight control over the eclectic sounds, and creates Jazzy groove atmosphere to any Jazz crowd or dance floor Jazz dancers. Highly recommended.
