Description:

The Jazz version of Monkey House? The debut album from Modern Times Ensemble, a truly unique global collaboration featuring artists from around the world! A jazz take on the Steely Dan love affair! The album features a seven-piece middle ensemble and the crisp voice of Ursula, a female singer from Vienna, who brings her love of Steely Dan to this unique urban contemporary jazz vocal performance. The cover of Donald Fagen's "Maxine" is so exciting that I can't stop myself from falling in love with it, This is the debut album by the Modern Times Ensemble, a group of musicians from New York, Vienna, London, Pescara, Los Angeles, Denver, Paris, Hamburg, and Rome, led by Paolo Montrone, who lives in Zurich. In addition to the sound and melody of Steely Dan's chord work interpreted in jazz diction, female vocalist Ursula Gerstbach's coquettish and bubbly voice is very appealing. The album also includes the song "Ramen Dilemma."
