JAZZORETRY is the work of The Nouveau Beat, the duo consisting of Robert Finley and Victor Uriz, and it is a unique entry in the area of contemporary jazz. If you are into the Beats, Existentialism, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Charlie Parker, or otherwise enjoying an on the road experience to good listening, then JAZZORETRY is your cup of tea.

This collection of 6 songs is a complex yet unified union of jazz, storytelling, and poetry. It will attract many new fans.

Selections include "Coming Frost," "Crossed Roads," "Drunken Lullaby's," "Let's Love," "Briar Lane," and "The Bridge." The song, "Briar Lane," will surprise listeners with its theme.

I give JAZZORETRY five stars for sheer originality! Take a listen and enjoy something very different. Fine work.
