What makes Nostalgia 77 special?

Jazz that sounds like crate-digging and the present at once: “Songs For My Funeral” shows the early, beat-driven side, while “Everything Under The Sun” and “The Garden” sound like a band in a room.

The project also became known for a jazzy version of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”, sung by Alice Russell. Plus “The Sleepwalking Society”.
