Tempestade de Areia Nordestour. Mar/2016
The Swamp Coolers were in the studio recently and had a blast recording Hawaii 5-0 and shooting the music video! We recorded Hawaii 5-0 over 10 years ago and donated the recording to the first Surf Guitar 101 Compilation CD.

Expressway Sketches is a German quartet of jazz musicians who don't play surf music. As the title indicates, they love surf music but this cd doesn't prove that they can play it.
In the liner notes you read: "Among the most successful groups were The Ventures, Duane Eddy, Dick Dale, The Shadows and The Marketts".
Playing time is 44 minutes and 38 seconds for 14 songs.
You´ll hear free jazz improvisations in Acetone, Hype Out, Flambres (Abre La Puerta, Dreiteiler.)
One Eyed Jack could have been a good tune if there wasn't the keyboard destroying the tune. Schlurf is a jazzy instrumental, all the other tracks are "normal" instrumentals.
In the liner notes they put the question "Does it really make a difference whether you're improvising on a jazz standard or a Surf song?" I do think so.
IMHO a cd for crazy nuts like me who buy everything with a label "surf" on it or people who enjoy new sounds.
There are some tracks visible on YouTube. Please check it out. I recommend however to buy The Insect Surfers or The Mermen cds when you want to hear good sophisticated sounds of the future.
