Bobby Hughes Combination – Kerma Elastica / Karins Kerma

Kerma Elastica / Karins Kerma is a stylish and inventive release from the Bobby Hughes Combination, the Norwegian collective renowned for blending jazz, funk, electronic music, and lounge influences into a distinctive modern sound. Combining sophisticated musicianship with dancefloor sensibilities, the group became a respected name within the international nu-jazz and acid jazz scenes of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The title track, Kerma Elastica, delivers the band's trademark fusion of crisp rhythms, funky basslines, jazz-inspired arrangements, and electronic production. Smooth yet energetic, the track perfectly captures the cosmopolitan sound that made the Bobby Hughes Combination favourites among DJs and collectors of contemporary jazz-infused grooves.

On the flip side, Karins Kerma features acclaimed Norwegian jazz vocalist Karin Krog, whose influential career spans decades of innovative vocal jazz and experimental music. Her contribution adds an additional layer of sophistication, blending seamlessly with the group's modern production style and creating a track that bridges classic jazz artistry with contemporary electronic influences.

A sought-after release for fans of nu-jazz, downtempo, and Scandinavian electronic music, Kerma Elastica / Karins Kerma is an excellent example of the creative cross-pollination between jazz and club culture at the turn of the millennium.
