release February 22, 2013
Where jazz ends for other bands, is where it begins for Yakou Tribe!
Great rock-bands celebrate their big anniversaries after decades, sometimes even
after half a century, with a dozen albums or so. In jazz this is different. Jazz
bands meet for one album and if it goes particularly well and the egos are half-way
in tune with each other this might lead to a second production. So when a jazz-group
releases four solid albums with the same line-up of musicians, this is quite
the sensation. Especially when this happens in the great boiler Berlin. The quartet
Yakou Tribe however, has never had a problem breaking with the customs of jazz. “100%
Results” is in fact the fourth record to date of the Berliner band and
it celebrates once more the colorful, vibrant life.
