Here’s a little bio about the group:

Raised in the 60s by free-spirited artists living like gypsies in
picturesque locations like Cheyene Walk, Chelsea or Cornwall, Klay D-C
(AKA Klay Dumas-Copas) is a master of creating musical tapestries that
are full of flavor and life.  His latest solo release, Ritmo,
is a magical musical journey that combines technical prowess with an ear
for colorful melodies.
 
A natural story-teller, the first
track, “Mungabunga,” introduces us to a soft acoustic piano before
blossoming into a wiggy, upbeat number garnished with salsa rhythms. 
The totally unexpected arrangement dances between the acoustic piano and
electric instruments (guitar and bass) in a melodic tease that excites
and intoxicates.

The musical stories continue to unfold with the
title track, “Ritmo,” a musical stew seasoned with piano jazz chords,
Latin rhythms and electric pop sensibilities. Other numbers like “Azure”
and “Something” else touch upon a romantic side that lingers.

A
master composer that is comfortable with a large range of colors on his
palette, “Wadyawant?” highlights the artist’s ability to shift
flawlessly between dark and light. He uses the emotional context of the
arrangement to create a piece that continually moves the listener
forward.  “Coast Road” is a bit more melancholy, while “Bounce” flirts
with a jolly self-confidence.

“Some people say they don’t like
jazz because they don’t understand it.  Ritmo means ‘rhythm’ in Spanish
and Italian. The album is simply a collection of tunes that express how I
felt when I wrote each one.  I want the fans to simply feel the music
and the rhythms.  Anyone that can feel something in our music
understands it.  That’s what music is about to me,” said Klay.
