Kokoschka Hightown Orchestra - Jazz Rock/Fusion

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Another one with only one release. This time from Germany. They are named after the bass player Hans Kokoschka who has supposedly Slavic routes (because of the name meaning hen). The music is kinda jazzy fusion with electric guitars and brass section. The tracks are rather song-oriented, despite there are no vocals. I found them among the uploads of the Prog Line channel. They could be also Crossover or even Canterbury at moments, I don't know.

	Music is a bridge between yourself and perfection.

	Pretty much any band with the word "Orchestra" in its name is usually safe. This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this!
