The best kept secret in music
Press
Ntoumos, led by Dominic Ntoumos on trumpet, was much more on the money, a well devised mix of jungle and drum'n'bass with some virtuoso electric piano from Robert Mitchell. Less convincing were the rap numbers with HKB:Finn - jazz and rap still remain uneasy bedfellows; word-rich in its obsession with the empowering and disempowering effects of language, rap leaves nowhere for intrumentalists to go.
