Berlin got a new show in 2006: Belle et Fou realised by four star chef and event caterer Hans-Peter Wodarz together with producer / director Arthur Castro. Besides dance, theatre and refined culinary delights, this new project from the makers of Pomp, Duck & Circumstance has one very special highlight to offer: the soundtrack by Jazzanova.
The Berlin-based collective not only made a selection of tracks from their own Sonar Kollektiv imprint catalogue, the main theme tune is original Jazzanova material specially written for the show. Although the CD features many original tracks, this soundtrack is not to be seen as a pure Jazzanova album (the new one is expected next year), rather it should be seen as a commission piece but one which still has all the charm you can expect from a collaboration like this.
Of course the music written especially for Belle et Fou has something special. In the tradition of the "orchestral" soul of the 70s, Barry White, Marvin Gaye and the Blaxploitation Soundtracks by Isaac Hayes were the basic musical idea. But Jazzanova also takes trips deep into folk, acoustic jazz and classic.
