Jango / Closer To Home

Jango was often said to be either way that their writing and performing music was so close to Steely Dan's sound when their albums were released in the end of 1990’s and early 2000’s. Consisting of five studio musicians from Los Angeles, Jango released this second album "Closer to home", a great follow-up to their debut release “Dreamtown”, with 6 instrumentals out of 13 songs. The song "Joyful caravan" is dedicated to Curtis Mayfield, personally I like "The way back to heaven" and "Under the influence of love”.
