Basa

Retro future jazz and soul. A fine concoction of jazz, soul, electronic, down tempo lounge and disco that will uplift your soul, and put you in the mood. Basa is like a sponge bath, or like wearing a leisure suit. Its deja vu. Eric Corbett and Darrell Smith have been exploring the space between jazz, pop, electro, and soul; trying to discover a fresh take. The strong narratives gravitate toward stories of love.

From the frustrated love that never quite works out in "touche", to the hopeful story of love being enough in "starlight"; the thoughts are witty and deeper than they appear at first glance. Each listen reveals another layer of tone and thought. The approach is sensual but not sexual, intelligent but not intellectual, hip but not trendy, future and retro at the same time. Textures of tone wash over each expression and moment. The band is deep rooted in jazz, but shares a love for old school funk and soul, that euro electro sound, and urban rhythms and beats. Basa's hope is to be the soundtrack for the best times of your life. Serve chilled and enjoy.
