Takadimi – New Common Sense

Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week is New Common Sense by Takadimi.

This quintet consists of local Sydney siders who met at Sydney university and have only recently graduated. In their short existence Takadimi have already performed at the Sydney Opera House and various festivals including Pete’s Ridge, Bellingen Global Carnival and High ‘n Dry Festival.

New Common Sense is the debut album from the band, and Takadimi daringly combine various styles on the LP. Jazz, folk, Irish, gypsy, Latin and Afro vibes are all fused delicately but precisely to create an eclectic mix that somehow blend magnificently into a cohesive new sound.

Takadimi have created a refreshing body of contemporary new era music. The quintet ignore and blast through boundaries, choosing not to let rigid genre formulas constrict them. The music also manages to maintain a fun and vibrant theme throughout. Their sound is complex yet unpretentious. New Common Sense is an encouraging and innovative album embodying the notion of why we should be excited about the future of Australian jazz music.

New Common Sense is an independent release by Takadimi. For more information on the band and their album go to their website at www.takadimi.com.au
